EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mangold pulling at Cowdray, October 1939" offers a poignant glimpse into the world of farming during World War II. Taken by the talented photographer George Garland, this image is part of the esteemed Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. In this rural scene, we are transported back in time to witness a farmer's unwavering dedication amidst the challenges of war. The focal point is an impressive horse and cart laboriously plowing through a field. The hardworking farmer can be seen guiding his loyal steed as they pull what appears to be mangolds – large root vegetables used for livestock feed. The significance of this photo lies not only in its depiction of agriculture but also in its historical context. During wartime, food production became paramount for sustaining both soldiers on the front lines and civilians at home. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers who played a vital role in ensuring food security during those tumultuous times. As we admire this snapshot frozen in history, let us reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to support their communities during World War II. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, life continued with determination and perseverance on farms like Cowdray
