EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Chichester War Agricultural Executive Committee Demonstration held on 23rd July 1945. The image captures a side view of a powerful Fordson Tractor diligently ploughing the fields at Halnaker, West Sussex. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the tireless efforts of farmers during World War II to increase food production for the nation. The tractor, an emblem of progress and mechanization, symbolizes their determination to overcome adversity and contribute towards rebuilding post-war Britain. The George Garland Collection showcases this remarkable photograph that not only documents agricultural practices but also serves as a testament to human resilience amidst challenging times. It is through such historical records that we gain insight into our past and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Preserved with care at the West Sussex Record Office under reference number N25336, this print offers a glimpse into an era defined by hard work, innovation, and community spirit. As we observe this scene from over seven decades ago, let us acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by farmers like these who played an integral role in shaping our present-day society
