EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during World War II as Belgian refugees in London are fitted with gas masks at Fulham Borough Council. The Second World War had brought an influx of refugees to the United Kingdom, and the London borough of Fulham became a temporary home for many of them. In this image, the refugees, mostly women and children, are seen queuing patiently, their faces etched with worry and uncertainty. The air raid sirens had become a constant reminder of the threat of German air raids, and the need for gas masks was a grim necessity. The scene is one of solidarity and resilience, as volunteers and council workers work together to ensure the safety of the refugees. The gas masks, symbolic of the fear and uncertainty of war, are a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the time. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of those who lived through the darkest days of World War II.
