EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tillington L. D. V. s - August 1940" takes us back to a crucial moment in history. The image showcases a large group of Local Defence Volunteers (L. D. V. ), all but two proudly donning their uniforms. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that these brave individuals were determined to protect their homeland during the tumultuous era of World War II. The composition exudes a sense of unity and camaraderie as these ordinary citizens transformed into dedicated soldiers on the home front. Their resolute expressions reflect their unwavering commitment to safeguarding their community from potential threats. Each uniform tells a story; each face carries an air of determination mixed with apprehension. In the backdrop, we catch glimpses of rural West Sussex, reminding us that even amidst war's chaos, life continued its course. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by everyday heroes who put aside personal aspirations for the greater good. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical gem offers insight into an often-overlooked aspect of wartime Britain – the valiant efforts made by local communities to defend themselves against possible invasion or attack. It is through images like these that we gain appreciation for those who selflessly served and protected our nation during one of its most challenging periods.
