EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the spring of 1941 in Cowdray, West Sussex. The image showcases a young Land Girl diligently tending to her duties in the stableyard. With tender care and affection, she is seen feeding a young calf, symbolizing the vital role women played in sustaining Britain's agricultural industry during World War II. The scene exudes tranquility as sunlight filters through the stable windows, casting gentle shadows on the rustic wooden beams. The Land Girl's determined expression reflects her commitment to supporting the war effort by working alongside farmers and caring for livestock. This photograph from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office serves as a poignant reminder of an era defined by resilience and sacrifice. It encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in history but also highlights the significant contributions made by women who joined forces with their male counterparts to ensure food security for their nation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of farm life: cows lowing softly, birds chirping outside, and perhaps even catch a whiff of hay mingled with earthy scents. This image stands as testament to both rural traditions and human determination – reminding us that even amidst turmoil, there is always room for compassion towards nature's creatures.
