EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a Canadian Sports Meeting held in July 1943. The image showcases a group of fourteen men proudly donning t-shirts emblazoned with the initials RCASC, which stand for Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, accompanied by a striking Maple Leaf motif. Two officers stand tall among them, exuding authority and camaraderie. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice a young boy observing from the back right corner. His curious gaze hints at his admiration for these brave individuals who serve their country with honor and dedication. Meanwhile, in the background on the left side of the photo, a military vehicle stands as a silent witness to this remarkable gathering. This snapshot captures not only an athletic event but also symbolizes unity and teamwork within colonial Canada during World War II. It serves as a testament to the resilience and spirit of those who fought valiantly for their nation's freedom. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N22364, this historical gem is part of their extensive collection that sheds light on significant moments in our shared past. Let us cherish these images that remind us of sacrifices made and inspire future generations to strive for excellence both on and off the field.
