EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "V for Victory Potatoes - September 1941" we are transported back to the heart of wartime West Sussex. Three proud allotment owners, their faces beaming with satisfaction, stand side by side as they display their bountiful harvest of potatoes. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and resilience that defined the spirit of those challenging times. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, these gardeners found solace in nurturing the earth and growing their own vegetables. Their dedication to self-sufficiency not only provided sustenance but also served as a symbol of defiance against adversity. The sight of these plump potatoes proudly arranged on wooden crates is a testament to human ingenuity even in the darkest hours. Perhaps it was at one of those iconic YMCA gatherings where this photograph was taken – an oasis where laughter and joy prevailed despite the hardships endured during World War II. The jovial atmosphere captured in this snapshot hints at moments shared between friends who found solace in each other's company amidst turbulent times. The George Garland Collection, housed within West Sussex Record Office, preserves this invaluable piece of history. It serves as a reminder that even during periods marked by scarcity and fear, humor could still blossom like wildflowers among kindred spirits tending to their plots
