EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - July 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II. The image showcases the Midhurst Grammar School Cadets, standing proudly in perfect formation alongside their dedicated staff members outside the school buildings. With military precision, these young cadets exude discipline and determination as they prepare for what lies ahead. Each face reflects a mix of excitement and apprehension, fully aware that their training will soon be put to the test on the battlefield. The drum positioned at the forefront serves as a symbol of unity and rhythm within this group. At the center stands their esteemed headmaster, whose presence commands respect from both cadets and staff alike. His stern expression reveals his commitment to molding these young minds into capable soldiers ready to defend their country. The photograph captures not only a snapshot of this specific institution but also represents countless similar scenes across Britain during this era of uncertainty. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war impacted every aspect of society, even educational institutions like Midhurst Grammar School. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable image offers an invaluable glimpse into our past. It allows us to honor those who bravely served their nation while shedding light on an important chapter in West Sussex's history – one defined by sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering patriotism.
