This print captures the aftermath of a devastating event that unfolded on a chilly winter day in Wisborough Green, West Sussex. The image showcases a damaged haystack standing amidst an eerie scene of wire netting and props, serving as poignant reminders of the turbulent times experienced during World War II. The photograph, part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to 16 February 1945. As we gaze upon this rural landscape, we can almost feel the weight of history bearing down upon us. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the resilience and fortitude of local farmers but also their unwavering commitment to sustaining agricultural practices despite adversity. The hayrick stands tall against all odds—a symbol of hope amidst destruction. As our eyes wander across this field strewn with remnants from war-torn days gone by, we are reminded that even in times when chaos reigns supreme, life continues to flourish. This image serves as a testament to human perseverance and our ability to rebuild what has been lost. Let us reflect on this powerful visual narrative—an ode to those who have tilled these lands for generations—reminding us that agriculture remains an integral part of our collective heritage.
