EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in history - the Petworth N. F. S. Dinner on 2 June 1945. A large group of men, proudly donning their National Fire Service Uniforms, gather together at long trestle tables inside a quaint village hall adorned with vibrant bunting. The atmosphere is electric as these brave firemen come together to celebrate not only a delicious meal but also the end of an arduous chapter in their lives. The war that had consumed the world for years has finally concluded, and this joyous gathering serves as a testament to their resilience and unwavering dedication. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, it becomes evident that camaraderie and solidarity fill every corner of the room. These heroes have undoubtedly formed unbreakable bonds throughout their shared experiences during wartime. Their smiles radiate genuine happiness and relief, reflecting the collective sentiment of victory over adversity. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N25034, this photograph encapsulates both an era defined by sacrifice and triumph and pays tribute to those who selflessly served their country during one of its darkest periods. Let us cherish this poignant reminder of our past while honoring these courageous individuals whose bravery helped shape our present-day freedoms
