EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment in history as school children are seen entering Catford station in southeast London during World War II. The year is 1940, and these young evacuees are about to board a train that will take them to safety from the German bombs raining down on Britain.
The image shows a group of children, some wearing gas masks and others carrying their belongings, waiting anxiously on the platform. Their faces reflect a mix of fear, uncertainty, and perhaps even a glimmer of hope for what lies ahead. In the background, we see the bustling activity of the station as people hurry past, oblivious to the weight of this moment for these young souls.
As they stand there on that fateful day in 1940, these children symbolize resilience and courage in the face of adversity. They were forced to leave behind their homes, families, and familiar surroundings to seek refuge from war's horrors. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
Through this historical snapshot captured by Rights Managed photography at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the impact of war on innocent lives – an image that will forever be etched in our collective memory.
