The Pick of the Holidays - A Snapshot of Volunteer Farm Workers in Herne, Kent
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from July 1947, we are transported back to a time when men and women volunteered as farm workers at the Ministry of Agriculture camp in Herne, Kent. With beaming smiles on their faces, these dedicated individuals have chosen an extraordinary holiday for themselves – one that not only brings them joy but also helps the country thrive. The image captures a group of volunteers diligently gathering gooseberries on a picturesque Kentish farm. It is astonishing to learn that just twenty volunteers can pick an impressive 300 stone between 9 a. m. and 3.30 p. m. , showcasing their unwavering commitment to supporting the agricultural industry. While they receive payment for their hard work, it is heartwarming to know that these selfless individuals find solace in more than just financial compensation. The camp organizers ensure ample recreation opportunities for them during their stay, including coach trips to explore the beautiful countryside, invigorating physical training sessions (P. T. ), and engaging in various sports activities typical of camp life. This print by Mirrorpix encapsulates not only the essence of rural scenes but also highlights the importance of teamwork and community spirit within agriculture during this era. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how ordinary people came together with determination and enthusiasm to contribute towards building a prosperous nation through farming endeavors.
