One contact sheet comprising one image titled ‘Amaizing’. Caption on the back reads: ‘Not sugar growing in Jamaica, but Maize growing in Suffolk. Farmers are now growing maize in large proportions in order to boost up their cattle and poultry foodstuffs, as it is no longer being imported. The space in our ships is required for more important war supplies. 6 year old Vola Marcelene rides her pony through the growing maize in Sudbury Suffolk.’
