EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the intense days of World War Two. The image captures a Downed Junkers 88 bomber in Pagham Harbour on September 9th, 1940. As our eyes focus on the wreckage, a soldier stands beside it, pointing out bullet holes that mar the cockpit's surface. The significance of this moment cannot be understated. This German Luftwaffe warplane serves as a stark reminder of the relentless battles fought during the Second World War. Its presence in British territory is evidence of both enemy aggression and heroic defense. Preserved within the L Alouette Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history through Frank Lalouette's lens. It immortalizes not only an iconic aircraft but also symbolizes resilience and triumph over adversity. As we study each detail meticulously captured by Lalouette's camera, we can almost hear echoes of courageous soldiers who risked their lives for freedom and peace. The bullet holes serve as poignant reminders of the sacrifices made during those tumultuous times. This powerful image from West Sussex County Council allows us to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who valiantly fought against tyranny. Let it stand as a testament to human strength and determination amidst one of history's darkest chapters - a visual representation etched forever in our collective memory.
