EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to November 1944 in Ashington, where a group of dedicated policemen proudly display their achievements. Standing tall and united, these brave individuals were part of the Special Constabulary during wartime. Dressed immaculately in their uniforms, adorned with shiny buttons and protective helmets, these volunteers epitomize resilience and selflessness. Their commitment to upholding law and order during such challenging times is truly commendable. The focal point of this remarkable image lies at the forefront - five gleaming silver cups. These prestigious awards symbolize the exceptional skills and dedication possessed by each member of this esteemed force. The cups stand as a testament to their unwavering bravery amidst adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served on the home front during World War II. It captures a moment frozen in time when ordinary citizens stepped forward to protect their communities with extraordinary valor. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's vast collection, this photograph offers us an invaluable glimpse into history. It allows us to reflect upon the courage displayed by these men who willingly put themselves in harm's way for the greater good. Let us honor their memory and express our gratitude for their service – not just through words but also through actions that uphold justice, unity, and compassion even today.
