EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to August 1943, amidst the bustling fields of an agricultural landscape. A group of resilient Landgirls can be seen diligently pulling down branches of hops that have fallen victim to a stubborn mildew infection. Their determined faces reflect the unwavering spirit of these remarkable women who played a crucial role on the home front during World War II. As they work tirelessly, their efforts are complemented by the presence of a special spraying tractor making its way down the line of hops. This innovative machine releases a protective wash onto the crops, shielding them from further harm before their anticipated gathering in September. The significance of this task cannot be understated as these hops will eventually find themselves transformed into one of Britain's beloved beverages - beer. Dean's skillful capture not only immortalizes this pivotal moment in history but also pays homage to those who contributed to our nation's sustenance during times of adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war and uncertainty, life continues with determination and resilience. This evocative image encapsulates the essence of 1940s agriculture while highlighting themes such as hard work, camaraderie among women in land armies, and the vital importance placed on sustaining food production during wartime. Dean's photograph is truly an invaluable window into our past - reminding us all never to forget those who shaped our present through their tireless dedication on the home front.
