EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past, specifically August 1945 at Marchant Hill Camp School in West Sussex. The image showcases three charming wooden huts nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. These humble structures served as temporary accommodation for evacuees during the 1940s, providing shelter and respite from the turmoil of war. The camp's serene surroundings, dominated by towering cedar trees, create an atmosphere of tranquility and escape. It is evident that this place was more than just a refuge; it offered a sense of solace and rejuvenation to those who sought comfort within its walls. As we delve into George Garland's collection, we are transported back in time to witness the resilience and determination of individuals seeking respite from wartime hardships. This particular photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how even in times of adversity, people found ways to come together and create moments of joy. Marchant Hill Camp School stands as a testament to human spirit - an embodiment of hope amidst uncertainty. Its significance extends beyond being merely historical documentation; it represents countless stories untold but forever etched in our collective memory. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office with reference number N25312, this evocative image allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made during World War II while celebrating the strength and endurance that emerged from such challenging circumstances.
