EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Land girls testing a new variety of corn on a trial ground near Hatfield circa 1942" we are transported back to the heart of World War Two. The image showcases a group of determined women, affectionately known as land girls, who played an instrumental role in the war effort by taking up employment in farming. With their sleeves rolled up and wide-brimmed hats shielding them from the sun's rays, these resilient ladies stand amidst rows upon rows of towering cornstalks. Their faces radiate both curiosity and amusement as they inspect this new variety with great enthusiasm. Perhaps it was their way of finding humor amidst challenging times. This photograph not only captures the spirit and determination of these hardworking women but also serves as a poignant reminder of their vital contribution during wartime. With men away at war, it was left to these brave souls to step into traditionally male-dominated occupations like farming, ensuring that food production continued unabated. George Greenwell skillfully immortalizes this moment in history through his lens, allowing us to glimpse into an era where unity and resilience were paramount. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but feel immense gratitude for those who selflessly dedicated themselves to securing our future. Let this remarkable image serve as a tribute to all the unsung heroes - both men and women - whose unwavering commitment shaped our world today.
