EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1937. The image showcases a moment of camaraderie and instruction as a Corporal from the 23rd London Regiment (the East Surrey) patiently demonstrates how to use a machine gun to a group of civilian guests. The setting is Arundel Park in Sussex, where 15 young men hailing from South London have been invited for an unforgettable fortnight-long holiday. As part of their experience, they are given the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in military life and learn valuable skills under the guidance of these dedicated soldiers. Captured by Planet News photographers on July 26th, this photograph encapsulates an era between two world wars when such interactions were not only possible but also encouraged. It serves as a poignant reminder that even during times of uncertainty and tension, moments like these could foster understanding and bridge gaps between different sections of society. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this monochrome gem offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the power of photography as both an art form and historical document. Let it transport you back in time, evoking thoughts about friendship forged through shared experiences amidst picturesque surroundings at Arundel Park.
