EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""The Allies"- 10 June 1946" transports us back to a moment of joyous celebration in post-war England. The image captures the essence of unity and camaraderie as five children, adorned in meticulously crafted Allied uniforms, proudly represent their respective nations at the Pulborough Victory Revels. In this heartwarming tableau, we witness the young ones embodying the spirit of Great Britain & the Colonies, China, Soviet Union, United States, and France. Their beaming smiles reflect not only their innocence but also symbolize hope for a peaceful future after years of conflict. The attention to detail in each child's costume is remarkable - from miniature military caps to carefully tailored jackets adorned with national emblems. It is evident that great care was taken by their families or community members to ensure an accurate representation of each nation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of such celebrations during peacetime. The Pulborough Victory Revels served as a reminder that despite differences and past conflicts, it is through unity and cooperation that lasting peace can be achieved. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. No. Garland N26536. , this photograph serves as a testament to both historical events and human resilience. It encapsulates a moment when children became ambassadors for peace while embracing diversity - an enduring message worth cherishing even today.
