EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity and unity of Petworth Remembrance Sunday at the town's War Memorial on 10th November 1963. The image, part of the George Garland Collection housed in West Sussex Record Office, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a crowd gathered around the memorial, heads bowed in reverence. The iconic Union Jack flutters proudly against a backdrop of historic buildings. Poppies adorn lapels and wreaths are carefully placed at the base of the monument, symbolizing remembrance and gratitude for those who gave their lives. A lone trumpeter stands tall amidst scouts and schoolboys, his instrument poised to sound "The Last Post". His haunting melody echoes through the air as silence envelops all present. It is an emotional moment that transcends generations. The scene evokes deep emotions; grief mixed with pride for fallen heroes. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era when communities came together to honor their brave servicemen and women. As we reflect upon this powerful image from our past, let us remember not only those who fought valiantly but also how important it is to preserve our history for future generations. May this photo serve as a timeless tribute to Petworth's unwavering commitment to honoring its war heroes every Remembrance Sunday.
