EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1940, in the quaint coastal village of East or West Wittering. The scene depicts a moment frozen in time, as onlookers gather around the wreckage of a German bomber that had crashed during World War II. Amidst the chaos and destruction, there is an intriguing blend of fashion and resilience captured within this frame. Men and women dressed in their timeless attire stand alongside soldiers who were called upon to defend their homeland. Their faces reveal a mix of curiosity, concern, and perhaps even relief at witnessing such a dramatic event. Intriguingly enough, amidst this backdrop of war-torn landscapes and military presence, one cannot help but notice the humble bicycle parked nearby. It serves as a reminder that life goes on even during times of great adversity - people still need to commute, run errands or simply find solace by pedaling through familiar streets. The remnants of the fallen aeroplane are testament to both human vulnerability and strength. They serve as a stark reminder that war knows no boundaries; it disrupts lives regardless of location or circumstance. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives at the Record Office Ref No: L Alouette A/1/3/48), this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into history - reminding us not only of our past but also urging us to reflect on our present choices for peace and unity.
