EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 7 November 1920, we are transported to Brockenhurst in the New Forest, Hampshire. Here, amidst a serene forest backdrop, stands the Forestry Commission's School of Forestry for disabled ex-servicemen. The image captures a poignant moment during a timber measurement lesson. A group of men can be seen attentively gathered around an instructor who is demonstrating the art of measuring wood. Dressed in fashionable attire from the 1920s - complete with hats and tailored suits - these determined individuals showcase their commitment to learning new skills despite their disabilities. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of empowerment and rehabilitation. It serves as a testament to the dedication shown by these brave men towards training and employment opportunities provided by the Forestry Commission. As rays of sunlight filter through towering trees, casting shadows upon their faces, one cannot help but admire both nature's beauty and mankind's resilience. This image encapsulates themes such as conservation, welfare, and camaraderie within a single frame. Preserved through time by Alfieri's masterful monochrome lenswork, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where determination triumphed over adversity. It reminds us that even amidst challenges faced by disabled veterans after World War I, hope could be found among the woods of Brockenhurst – where dreams were nurtured alongside trees destined for preservation or purposeful use.
