EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant snapshot from September 1939, we witness a group of brave young souls navigating the challenges of wartime displacement. The photo captures a classroom scene where evacuees are diligently engrossed in their lessons, showcasing resilience and determination amidst uncertainty. Both girls and boys can be seen huddled around wooden desks, eagerly absorbing knowledge imparted by their dedicated teacher. With schoolbooks open before them, these children demonstrate an unwavering commitment to education even in the face of adversity. Their youthful faces reflect both curiosity and apprehension as they strive to maintain some semblance of normalcy during World War Two. The image serves as a testament to the strength and adaptability of those affected by war. It reminds us that despite being uprooted from their homes due to conflict, these young minds continue to pursue learning with unwavering enthusiasm. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into history through the lens of human experience. It stands as a reminder that education is not merely confined within walls but rather transcends time and space – empowering individuals regardless of circumstance. As we observe these determined evacuees engaged in their studies, let us honor their tenacity while recognizing our shared responsibility to ensure access to quality education for all children – irrespective of global events or personal circumstances.
