EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured on 23 June 1946 at Kilthurst Range in Storrington, it showcases a group shot of determined competitors participating in Home Guard Rifle Shooting. As peacetime settled after the chaos of World War II, this local championship symbolized the resilience and dedication of these brave individuals who had once served as defense volunteers during wartime. With their rifles held firmly and eyes focused on the target ahead, they epitomize strength and unity. The trophies proudly displayed alongside them serve as a testament to their exceptional marksmanship skills honed through rigorous training sessions. These men not only aimed for victory but also embodied the spirit of safeguarding their community. Preserved by West Sussex County Council, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era when ordinary citizens transformed into defenders of their homeland. It serves as a reminder that even during times of peace, there is always a need for preparedness and vigilance. Let this image transport you to that historic day when camaraderie filled the air amidst intense competition. Appreciate the commitment shown by these unsung heroes who stood ready to protect their loved ones with unwavering determination – forever etched within this remarkable snapshot from our past.
