EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing refugees preparing to leave during the tumultuous period of World War Two. The image, part of the George Garland Collection held at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into the lives of those affected by conflict and displacement. In this snapshot, we see individuals from various walks of life coming together with a shared sense of hope and determination. A uniformed nurse stands at the forefront, her compassionate gaze reflecting both strength and compassion as she assists those in need. Nearby, school children can be seen clutching their suitcases tightly, labeled with their names and destinations - symbols of uncertainty but also resilience. The presence of a teacher amidst the group highlights education's enduring importance even in times of crisis. With an air of calm authority, this dedicated educator guides young minds forward despite the challenges they face. Amongst them are girls whose youthful innocence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of war-torn surroundings. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder that humanity perseveres even in dark times. It speaks volumes about courage and unity as these refugees prepare for an uncertain future while holding onto their dreams for safety and stability. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured through George Garland's lens, let us honor these brave souls who embarked on journeys filled with hardship yet carried within them unwavering hope for brighter days ahead.
