EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Fank L Alouette Collection, we are transported back to a significant moment during World War II. The image captures a dog perched confidently on the wing of a downed Junkers 88 aircraft in Pagham Harbour, while soldiers meticulously inspect the remnants of the once formidable warplane. Taken on September 9th, 1940, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of wartime, this photograph encapsulates both bravery and resilience. As uniformed soldiers comb through the wreckage with focused determination, their presence serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to protect and defend. The location itself adds another layer of intrigue to this historic scene. Set against the picturesque backdrop of South Coast's sandy beaches, Pagham Harbour becomes an unlikely stage for such dramatic events. It is here that nature meets conflict head-on - where tranquility collides with destruction. However, it is perhaps our four-legged companion who steals the spotlight in this frame. With an air of nonchalance and loyalty radiating from its gaze, this faithful canine symbolizes unwavering companionship even in times of turmoil. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under reference number L Alouette/A/1/3/36, this remarkable snapshot stands as a testament to human courage and unity during one of history's darkest chapters – reminding us that hope can be found even amid adversity.
