EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of World War II, this poignant print showcases Jeanette and Pamela L Alouette on the Esplanade at Bognor Regis in November 1940. Standing alongside them are four soldiers from the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Light Infantry, who were stationed there for coastal defense duties. As the camera lens focuses on their youthful faces, these brave soldiers playfully shoo away the girls to create a lighthearted moment amidst the somber backdrop of war. The Esplanade itself tells a story of its own - lined with barbed wire entanglements as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict that threatened their shores. This image captures both resilience and vulnerability; it encapsulates life on the home front during wartime. Preserved within the L Alouette Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to those who lived through this tumultuous era. It is an invaluable piece of history that offers us a glimpse into everyday life during World War II. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember not only Jeanette and Pamela Lalouette but also countless others whose lives were forever shaped by those turbulent years. Their courage and determination continue to inspire generations today.
