EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Bognor's Civil Defence force during World War II, we witness a remarkable scene of resilience and community spirit. The image showcases a group of dedicated men diligently collecting paper and cardboard from West Street to aid in the war effort. With their sleeves rolled up and determination etched on their faces, they load the precious materials into a pick-up truck adorned with the sign "Civil Defence Road Repair". Another van parked nearby proudly displays "Beans Express Ltd Transport Contractors" on its front. As our gaze extends beyond the industrious workers, we catch glimpses of Bognor Regis' historic landmarks. In the background stands Argyle Hall, an architectural gem that has witnessed countless moments throughout history. Adjacent to it is Batemans, nestled at the corner like a silent observer of these extraordinary times. This photograph captures not only an essential aspect of wartime resourcefulness but also serves as a testament to unity within communities facing adversity. It symbolizes how ordinary individuals came together selflessly for a greater cause – supporting their country during one of its most challenging periods. Preserved in West Sussex Record Office's L Alouette Collection, this snapshot offers us insight into Frank Lalouette's documentation of life on the home front during World War II. Let us remember these unsung heroes who played vital roles behind-the-scenes while history unfolded around them.
