EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of joy and triumph in the aftermath of World War II. Taken on 19 May 1945, it showcases a heartwarming scene of celebration in Hampers Green, Europe. A large group of mothers and children gather around trestle tables set up in front of their charming semi-detached houses adorned with two grand Union Jacks fluttering proudly in the breeze. The atmosphere is electric as families come together to commemorate victory and embrace a newfound sense of peace. Laughter fills the air as children play amidst an array of picnic blankets, while parents engage in animated conversations about brighter days ahead. The spirit of unity is palpable, symbolized by this vibrant gathering. In this snapshot from history, we witness pure happiness radiating from every face present. Prams and highchairs are scattered throughout the scene, indicating that even the youngest members have joined in on this momentous occasion. A clown adds an extra touch of merriment to the festivities, eliciting giggles from both young and old alike. Preserved within George Garland's remarkable collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. , this photograph immortalizes a time when hope was restored after years filled with hardship and sacrifice. It serves as a poignant reminder that through resilience and solidarity, communities can overcome adversity
