EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant chapter in history - the year 1945, during the height of World War II. It showcases the Itchingfield Camp School, which served as temporary accommodation for evacuees seeking refuge from the horrors of war. The image captures a view of a spacious dining hall within the camp, where countless individuals gathered to share meals and find solace amidst uncertain times. The composition exudes an air of resilience and unity as it portrays rows of wooden tables adorned with simple tablecloths. The walls are constructed from national Canadian cedarwood, lending warmth and comfort to this makeshift sanctuary. The photographer's keen eye has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of those who sought shelter here. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how communities came together during times of adversity. It stands as a testament to human strength and compassion in face of unimaginable challenges. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who found temporary respite within these walls - their stories etched forever in our collective memory. May we never forget their courage or take for granted the peace that now surrounds us.
