EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early spring of 1945, showcasing a significant moment in history - the Land Reclamation at Tillington. Two powerful Waring of Portsmouth Bulldozers dominate the frame as they tirelessly work together to clear a neglected field. This image, part of the esteemed George Garland Collection held by West Sussex Record Office, serves as a testament to human resilience and determination during times of war. In this snapshot from the past, we witness how agriculture played an essential role in food production during the 1940s. The barren landscape is transformed into fertile soil ready for cultivation, symbolizing hope and progress amidst challenging circumstances. These bulldozers represent not only machinery but also embody the spirit of hardworking farmers who labored relentlessly to feed their communities. The scene exudes nostalgia with its vintage vehicles that were instrumental in shaping our agricultural heritage. It reminds us of an era when manual labor was paramount and technology was still on its way towards revolutionizing farming practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, let us reflect on the significance of land reclamation efforts like these that helped sustain communities during wartime. It stands as a reminder that even in times of adversity, humans have always found ways to adapt and overcome challenges for the greater good.
