This photo print, titled "Land Girl at Cowdray, September 1939" takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of West Sussex during the tumultuous era of World War II. The image captures a young woman confidently leading a horse-drawn cart through a picturesque countryside scene. Her determined gaze reflects the resilience and strength that characterized the women who joined the Land Army to support agricultural efforts during wartime. Photographed by George Garland, this historical gem from the Garland Collection showcases an essential aspect of life on British farms during this period. The girl's attire, consisting of practical overalls and sturdy boots, exemplifies her commitment to hard work in challenging circumstances. The surrounding environment is lush with maize fields stretching into the distance, symbolizing both sustenance for a nation at war and hope for brighter days ahead. This snapshot encapsulates not only agriculture but also highlights how women played an integral role in maintaining food production while men were away fighting on foreign shores. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's vast collection under reference number Garland N18619, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and determination amidst adversity. It stands as a testament to those who contributed their unwavering dedication to supporting their country during one of its most trying times – World War II – through their involvement in the Land Army movement.
