EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a momentous day in history - July 1939. The image captures the essence of anticipation and joy as members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) line the steps of a charming church, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a bride and groom. Dressed immaculately in their VAD uniforms, these dedicated individuals stand tall with pride, embodying both elegance and duty. Their crisp white aprons adorned with red crosses symbolize their commitment to providing aid during times of need. Each member holds a delicate bouquet, adding an extra touch of grace to this remarkable scene. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that these VAD members play an essential role in safeguarding love's most cherished moments. They form a protective guard of honor for the newlyweds as they walk past – an act that signifies not only their dedication to service but also their heartfelt support for love's union. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under reference number Garland N18365, this print serves as a poignant reminder of selflessness amidst uncertainty. It encapsulates the spirit and resilience exhibited by countless individuals who voluntarily offered assistance during challenging times. Let us cherish this historical treasure while acknowledging those who have tirelessly served others throughout generations – forever capturing our hearts through acts both big and small.
