EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the solemnity of the Kirdford Boys Memorial Stone, standing tall and weathered in remembrance of a tragic event that unfolded in 1838. The stone serves as a poignant reminder of the lives lost too soon, belonging to six teenagers: George Newman, Charles Newman, Thomas Rapley, George Puttick, William Boxall, and Thomas Eames. Alongside them is Edward Evershed, an unfortunate man whose fate intertwined with theirs. Etched upon this marker are the details surrounding their untimely demise - strange and unfortunate causes that have left an indelible mark on this small village's history. Each name etched into the cold stone represents a life cut short by tragedy; each story remains shrouded in mystery. As we gaze upon this photograph from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we can't help but feel a sense of somber reflection. The weight of loss hangs heavy in the air as we contemplate how these young souls met their end. The Kirdford Boys Memorial Stone stands not only as a physical testament to those who perished but also as a symbol of community resilience and collective memory. It reminds us to cherish every moment and appreciate our own fleeting existence amidst life's uncertainties.
