EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from September 1939, we are transported back to a time of great uncertainty and upheaval - the beginning of World War Two. The image captures a significant moment in history as children are being evacuated from their homes, seeking safety amidst the looming threat of war. The scene is filled with a mix of emotions; fear and confusion etched on the faces of both boys and girls as they clutch onto their gas masks, a stark reminder of the potential dangers that lie ahead. Surrounding them are helpers and onlookers, their expressions mirroring concern for these young souls embarking on an unknown journey. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but notice the luggage scattered around - suitcases hastily packed with treasured belongings or perhaps just essentials for survival. It serves as a visual representation of how abruptly lives were disrupted during those turbulent times. One prominent detail in the photograph is W. H. Smith's shop sign in the background, acting as an unintentional symbol representing normalcy amidst chaos. Its presence reminds us that life goes on even during wartime. This powerful image encapsulates not only historical significance but also evokes empathy towards those affected by conflict. It serves as a reminder to cherish peace while honoring those who endured such hardships during World War Two.
