Protection Uniform Civil Defence Tracking Warning
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to 27 May 1945 in Pulborough, where a group portrait of Royal Observer Corps members is captured with their beloved mascot. The image exudes an air of resilience and camaraderie as these brave individuals stand united in their mission to protect and serve. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these dedicated men embody the spirit of civil defense during times of war. Their unwavering commitment to tracking and warning against potential threats is palpable through their determined expressions. Each face tells a story of sacrifice and duty. However, it is impossible not to be drawn towards the charming presence at the center - a loyal dog who serves as both companion and symbol of hope amidst turmoil. This four-legged hero stands proudly alongside his human counterparts, reminding us that even in times of darkness, there is always room for love and loyalty. This poignant photograph encapsulates the essence of wartime Britain - strength forged through unity, protection rooted in vigilance. It serves as a powerful reminder that behind every uniform lies an individual driven by an unwavering sense of duty to safeguard our nation's security. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N25054, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who selflessly served our country during its most challenging moments.
