EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Storrington Rogation Service & Procession of June 1943. Standing atop the wall by the church, a distinguished gentleman addresses an eager crowd, his words resonating with hope and unity during these turbulent times. The scene is filled with an eclectic mix of military personnel and civilians, all gathered together to partake in this religious event. Leading the procession is a resplendent Pipe Band, proudly donning their traditional kilts as they march forward with purpose. Their rhythmic tunes fill the air, adding to the solemn yet spirited atmosphere that surrounds them. The photograph offers a glimpse into life during wartime Britain in the 1940s. It serves as a reminder of how religion played an integral role in bringing communities together amidst adversity. As spectators stand shoulder to shoulder, their faces reflect both determination and faith. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image encapsulates not only a specific moment but also represents countless similar gatherings across England during World War II. It symbolizes resilience and solidarity among individuals from different walks of life who found solace within their shared beliefs. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who came before us - ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances - finding strength through spirituality while striving for peace amid chaos.
