EDITORS COMMENTS
Brothers Home on Leave - August 1940: A Glimpse into the Bond of Brotherhood". In this print from the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back to a poignant moment in history. The year is 1940, and four young men stand together on a tranquil garden path. Dressed in civilian clothes, they exude an air of both camaraderie and determination. Their clothing reflects the fashion of the era – jackets impeccably tailored, bags slung casually over their shoulders. Their hair neatly combed, each man wears a suit that speaks volumes about their sense of pride and purpose. These brothers have temporarily left behind their military uniforms for a well-deserved respite. The photograph captures more than just physical proximity; it encapsulates the unbreakable bond between siblings who share not only blood but also experiences forged through war. As they stand side by side, one can almost feel the weight lifted off their shoulders during this precious liberty break. This image serves as a reminder that amidst chaos and uncertainty, moments like these provided solace and strength to soldiers fighting for freedom. It symbolizes hope amid despair and resilience despite adversity. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's invaluable archives, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who sacrificed so much for our liberty. Let us remember these brave souls whose brotherhood endured even in times of turmoil - forever etched within this remarkable photograph.
