EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1939, we witness a significant moment in history as a "Keep left" bollard is being taken away for scrap at Bognor Regis. The image showcases the tireless efforts of workmen who are carefully loading it onto the back of a lorry. During World War Two, every resource became crucial to support the war effort, and even seemingly insignificant objects like this bollard played their part. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary life was affected by the global conflict. The L Alouette Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this snapshot that encapsulates both the home front atmosphere and the resilience of individuals during those challenging times. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by countless people across Britain. Frank Lalouette, whose name is mentioned alongside this photo print, might have been involved in capturing these historical moments through his lens. While details about him or his connection to this particular image remain unknown, his contribution to documenting wartime experiences should not be overlooked. This remarkable photograph reminds us that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, communities came together with determination and resolve. It stands as a testament to our shared history and serves as an inspiration for future generations facing their own challenges.
