EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Poultry Meeting at Steyning - about August 1941" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a man sitting on a wooden barrel, his face filled with determination and purpose. In front of him stands a poster that reads, "Save your House Scraps for Hens". This powerful message highlights the importance of utilizing food waste during wartime. Amidst the backdrop of World War II, when resources were scarce and every effort counted, this photograph captures the essence of agricultural efforts during those challenging times. It symbolizes the resilience and ingenuity displayed by communities as they sought ways to support their local economy while contributing to the war effort. The man's presence exudes dedication towards maximizing poultry production despite limited resources. His posture reflects unwavering commitment towards achieving self-sufficiency in food production. By encouraging households to save their scraps for hens, he emphasizes how even small contributions can make a substantial impact on sustaining chicken farms. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. , this photo serves as an invaluable historical artifact documenting not only agricultural practices but also societal values during wartime. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to adapt and innovate in times of crisis. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder that unity and resourcefulness are essential elements in overcoming adversity – lessons that remain relevant even beyond its original context.
