EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of boys, dressed in uniforms and caps, assemble for drill at the East Harling branch of the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control (NIPRCC) in Norfolk, England. Established in 1914, NIPRCC was a charitable organization privately run by the Reverend Harold Burden to house and care for children deemed feeble-minded or in need of control. The site, located at Kenninghall, had a rich and complex history. Prior to 1904, it functioned as the Guiltcross Union workhouse, providing shelter for the poor and destitute. In the early 1900s, Burden transformed the workhouse into the Eastern Counties Inebriates Reformatory, where he attempted to rehabilitate alcoholic men. The photograph captures a moment of discipline and order as the boys prepare for their drill exercise. Each boy stands at attention, holding a jack staff, their eyes fixed on an unseen drill instructor. The Union Jack flag, proudly displayed in the background, symbolizes their allegiance to the country and their commitment to the values of the organization. The scene is reminiscent of a military training ground, yet the context is distinctly different. These boys, many of whom were likely orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise disadvantaged, were receiving care and education in a charitable institution. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of children who, due to circumstances beyond their control, required care and support. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of charitable organizations and the role they play in providing essential services to those in need. The history of NIPRCC and its East Harling branch is a testament to the philanthropic spirit and the enduring commitment of individuals like the Reverend Harold Burden to improve the lives of the less fortunate.
