EDITORS COMMENTS
What They Were: A Transformative Journey from Homeless Street Arabs to Soldiers and Sailors Supporting Britannia - Illustrated through the Work of Barnardos in the 1890s This evocative image, captured in the 1890s, showcases the remarkable impact of Barnardos, a pioneering children's charity, on the lives of young boys who were once homeless 'Street Arabs.' The photograph, titled 'What They Were,' illustrates the profound transformation these children underwent as they were taken from the harsh realities of the streets and given the opportunity for education, care, and a chance at a better future. In this poignant snapshot of history, we see the boys, dressed in their new uniforms, standing proudly as soldiers and sailors. Their faces, once etched with the signs of hardship and adversity, now bear the determination and hope that comes with a renewed sense of purpose. These young lives, once abandoned and forgotten, were now being supported and nurtured, ready to contribute to their country as loyal and capable members of the armed forces. Barnardos, founded by Dr. Thomas Barnardo in 1867, was at the forefront of the children's welfare movement in the late 19th century. The organization's mission was to rescue and care for destitute children, providing them with education, training, and the opportunity to build a better future for themselves. This powerful image serves as a testament to the transformative power of care, education, and support, and the enduring impact it can have on the lives of the most vulnerable members of society. As we reflect on the history of Barnardos and the lives of these boys, we are reminded of the importance of continued investment in the welfare and education of children, ensuring that they have the opportunity to rise above their circumstances and contribute positively to their communities and their nation.
