Cheeky 1914 18 Outing School Trip Schoolboy
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1939, we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment at the Petworth War Memorial. A group of young boys, full of energy and curiosity, gather around the memorial with a sense of anticipation. It is evident that they are on a school trip or outing, as their uniforms suggest. These cheeky schoolboys exude both innocence and mischief as they eagerly await what lies ahead. The image captures the essence of youth against the backdrop of history, reminding us that even during times of conflict, life goes on for children. Their presence near the war memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War I between 1914-18. This remarkable photograph belongs to George Garland's collection and is preserved at West Sussex Record Office under reference number 18766. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of an era long gone but also in its ability to evoke emotions and spark conversations about remembrance and gratitude
