This photo print, titled "Evacuation pictures, September 1939 (Evacuees blackberry picking)" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the talented photographer George Garland, this image is part of the esteemed Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. Transporting us to rural West Sussex during World War II, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of children amidst wartime chaos. The scene depicts a group of young evacuees engaging in an activity that brings joy and respite from their uncertain circumstances – blackberry picking. With baskets in hand and smiles on their faces, these resilient youngsters find solace and recreation amidst nature's bounty. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both innocence and resilience as it immortalizes a poignant chapter in British history. It serves as a reminder of how even during times of turmoil, life continues with moments of simple pleasure like fruit picking. Preserved for generations to come by the diligent efforts of the West Sussex County Council, this historical gem showcases not only the artistic prowess of George Garland but also provides valuable insights into war-time experiences. While we cannot overlook its commercial use restrictions, we can appreciate its significance as an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike who seek to understand our past through visual storytelling.
