EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the Young Farmers Club Rally on 20th May 1944. The image captures an extraordinary encounter between the vibrant youth of West Sussex and one of Britain's esteemed peers, the 16th Duke of Norfolk. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is evident that agriculture was at the heart of this gathering. A sea of eager faces belonging to young farmers fills the frame, their passion for farming palpable even through black and white hues. They stand tall and proud, embodying a sense of purpose as they engage with each other and listen intently to their distinguished guest speaker. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the interaction between these ambitious youngsters and the noble Duke. His presence exudes authority yet warmth, his words resonating with wisdom accumulated over generations. It is a testament to his commitment towards fostering agricultural growth among future generations. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that youth has always played an integral role in shaping our agricultural landscape. It symbolizes resilience amidst challenging times during World War II when food production was paramount for survival. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this invaluable piece offers us a glimpse into our rich heritage while inspiring us to continue nurturing our land for future generations.
