EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Evacuees walking through town, September 1939" offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of children during the tumultuous times of World War Two. The image, part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, showcases a procession of young boys and girls making their way through an unidentified town. The photograph captures the essence of evacuation as these brave youngsters navigate their new reality with determination etched on their faces. Each child carries a suitcase or bag filled with belongings that symbolize both hope and uncertainty for what lies ahead. Some wear gas masks slung over their shoulders, serving as a stark reminder of the looming threat that war presents. As they walk solemnly down the street, curious onlookers line the sidewalks to witness this extraordinary sight. Their expressions range from sympathy to curiosity, reflecting both admiration for these resilient evacuees and concern for what awaits them in unfamiliar surroundings. Taken in the early 1930s, this powerful image serves as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us of how war disrupts ordinary lives but also highlights our capacity to adapt and overcome challenges together. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's record office, this photograph stands as an invaluable historical artifact capturing one small fragment of life during World War Two - evoking emotions that transcend time itself.
