EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage photograph from December 1944, we witness a poignant moment of unity and resilience as the Home Guard of Petworth marches through the town square. The Home Guard, comprised of local volunteers who were unable to join active military service during World War II, played a crucial role in defending their homeland against potential invasion. In the backdrop stands R. S. Austen & Co. , an iconic establishment that has witnessed countless historical events unfold over the years. Its presence adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot frozen in time. The image was skillfully captured by George Garland, whose photography beautifully encapsulates the spirit and determination of these brave men serving their community. This particular print is part of his esteemed Garland Collection, which serves as a visual testament to West Sussex's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, it reminds us not only of the sacrifices made by those who served but also highlights the importance of coming together as a community during times of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is strength in unity. This print holds immense historical value and offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared past while honoring those who selflessly dedicated themselves to protecting our homes and way of life.
