EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to September 1942 in East Anglia during the Second World War. The image showcases a heartwarming scene of soldiers and land army girls taking a well-deserved rest from their arduous harvest work to enjoy a comforting cup of tea. Amidst the backdrop of rural scenes and farmland, these brave men and women find solace in each other's company as they momentarily escape the harsh realities of war. Their tired faces bear witness to the sacrifices made on the home front, where agriculture played a crucial role in sustaining both troops abroad and civilians at home. The camaraderie between soldiers and land army girls is evident as they gather around makeshift tables adorned with steaming teapots. In this simple act of sharing tea, barriers dissolve, creating an atmosphere of unity despite their different roles within the military structure. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, moments like these bring comfort and respite from the hardships faced during wartime. It pays tribute not only to those who fought on foreign soil but also to those who tirelessly worked behind-the-scenes to ensure food security for their nation. Charlie Ley's skillful capture immortalizes this snapshot in history, allowing us to reflect upon the resilience and strength displayed by individuals during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War II.
