EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the historic moment of the Evacuation of Children from London during the early days of World War Two. The largest and most concentrated mass movement of people in British history took place between September 1 and September 4, 1939, as nearly 3 million people were transported from towns and cities under threat from enemy bombers to safety in the countryside. The announcement of the evacuation came as a surprise to many, and the scene depicted in this image shows the chaos and urgency of the situation. Children, many carrying only the essentials, are seen boarding trains and buses, accompanied by volunteers and military personnel. The evacuation was a significant event in British history, marking the beginning of the war and the start of a new way of life for millions of people. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during that time and the resilience of the British people in the face of adversity.
