EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to September 1939, a time of great uncertainty and upheaval. The image captures a group of evacuees anxiously waiting to catch a train, their faces etched with both fear and hope. As World War Two looms ominously in the background, these boys and girls stand resolute in their gas masks, a stark reminder of the imminent danger that awaits them. Their luggage piled high beside them, suitcases filled with treasured belongings and mementos from home; these young souls embark on an unknown journey away from loved ones. Their innocence juxtaposed against the backdrop of war paints a vivid picture of sacrifice and resilience. The scene is reminiscent of countless stories told by those who lived through this tumultuous era – tales of separation, adaptation, and survival. It serves as an enduring testament to the strength exhibited by ordinary individuals during extraordinary times. Preserved meticulously at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N18705, this photograph encapsulates not just history but also humanity's unwavering spirit in face of adversity. It stands as a powerful reminder for future generations about the importance of compassion and unity even amidst chaos
