EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Land girls testing a new variety of corn on a trial ground near Hatfield" we are transported back to the 1940s, amidst the chaos of World War II. The image showcases a group of determined women, known as land girls, who played an instrumental role in the war effort by taking up employment in farming. With their sleeves rolled up and smiles on their faces, these resilient women can be seen carefully examining rows upon rows of corn plants. Their dedication to testing this new variety demonstrates not only their commitment to improving agricultural practices but also highlights their vital contribution towards ensuring food security during wartime. Amidst the seriousness that surrounded life on the home front during World War II, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie and humor captured within this photograph. Perhaps it was a momentary break from their arduous work or simply an opportunity for some light-hearted banter amongst colleagues. Regardless, it serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, laughter and unity have the power to uplift spirits. George Greenwell's skillful photography allows us to glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women who defied societal norms by stepping into traditionally male-dominated roles. This image stands as a testament to their resilience and determination while paying homage to all those who contributed selflessly towards victory during World War II.
