EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of gratitude and celebration during the Harvest Thanksgiving at the Heritage Craft School in Chailey, Sussex on 26th September 1937. The image, taken by Between The Wars, transports us back to a time when tradition and community were cherished values. In this snapshot from the past, we see a procession of individuals proudly parading through the school grounds. Dressed in cassocks and mortar boards, they exude an air of solemnity mixed with joy. Among them are choirboys whose angelic voices must have filled the air with hymns of thanksgiving. What makes this scene particularly special is that it showcases inclusivity and compassion for those facing physical challenges. In the foreground stands Alfieri, leaning on his crutches as he joins in the festivities alongside other disabled boys who refuse to let their limitations define them. A wheelbarrow overflowing with bountiful vegetables symbolizes not only nature's abundance but also hard work and dedication put into cultivating these precious gifts from Mother Earth. The photograph beautifully encapsulates a sense of unity as people come together to express their gratitude for a successful harvest season. It serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertain times between two world wars, communities found solace in shared traditions like this Harvest Thanksgiving ceremony. Through this remarkable visual document captured by Between The Wars, we are transported back to an era where faith, resilience, and appreciation for life's blessings prevailed despite adversity.
