Beachy Downs Eastbourne Harry Patrol Policeman Policemen Ranger Retirement Retiring Ward
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the picturesque landscapes of the South Downs in Sussex, England, around the late 1960s, South Downs Ranger Harry Ward takes a moment of respite with his trusted steed. The serene scene captures the essence of a bygone era, as Ward, dressed in his distinctive uniform, gazes off into the distance, perhaps reminiscing about his years of dedicated service. The South Downs, a range of chalk hills stretching from Eastbourne to Winchester, have long been a source of inspiration and tranquility for those who call it home. For Harry Ward, the rugged terrain and coastal beauty served as the backdrop to his career as a South Downs Ranger. As a member of the Sussex Police Force, Ward's duties included maintaining law and order, search and rescue operations, and ensuring the safety of visitors to the area. His loyal horse, a trusted companion on many patrols, was an integral part of his work. Together, they traversed the rolling hills and rugged coastline, providing a reassuring presence for the local community and tourists alike. Now, as retirement beckons, Ward takes a moment to reflect on the memories of a fulfilling career. The sun sets over the South Downs, casting a warm glow on the landscape, as the sounds of the sea echo in the distance. The image of Harry Ward and his horse, silhouetted against the picturesque backdrop, serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication, hard work, and camaraderie that defined a generation of South Downs Rangers.
