EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to January 1948. In this full-length portrait, we are introduced to an Automobile Association Scout dressed in his uniform. The Scout stands tall and proud, exuding a sense of duty and professionalism. Clad in breeches, boots, and a cap that completes his ensemble, this man epitomizes the essence of an era when automobiles were still a novelty on the roads. His attire reflects both functionality and style - a testament to the meticulous attention given to every detail by those who served as AA Scouts during this time. The photograph itself is not just a visual representation; it serves as a window into history. It transports us back to post-war Britain when vehicles were becoming more prevalent but required vigilant assistance along their journeys. The presence of an AA Scout was reassuring for motorists who knew they could rely on these dedicated individuals for support whenever needed. As we admire this image captured over seven decades ago, let us appreciate the role played by such unsung heroes in ensuring safe travels across our nation's roads. This photograph reminds us of their commitment and dedication while also highlighting the invaluable historical records preserved by institutions like West Sussex County Council's Record Office.
