EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to a poignant moment in history - a wartime wedding in May 1943. The groom proudly dons the uniform of the Royal Canadian Artillery, a symbol of his dedication and service during World War II. Standing beside him is his radiant bride, adorned in an elegant 1940s style dress that perfectly captures the essence of fashion during this era. The couple's joyous smiles reflect their unwavering love amidst turbulent times. As they exchange vows, their commitment to one another becomes intertwined with their shared determination to overcome adversity. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and hope that blossomed even amidst global conflict. The bride's flower corsage adds a touch of delicate beauty to her ensemble, symbolizing new beginnings and celebrating life's precious moments despite uncertainty. Their union represents not only their personal journey but also echoes countless other wartime weddings that took place around the world. Preserved by West Sussex County Council for future generations, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both personal and historical narratives. It reminds us of love's ability to endure through challenging circumstances while honoring those who served bravely on behalf of freedom and peace
