EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of joy and relief amidst the turmoil of war. The image shows Spanish refugee children, who have been displaced by the brutal Spanish Civil War, enjoying their first meal at the North Stoneham Camp near Southampton in 1937. These innocent faces tell a story of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. These children were forced to flee their homes in Republican-held Bilbao to escape the relentless bombing and artillery attacks carried out by Nationalist forces. Their journey was undoubtedly filled with fear and uncertainty, but here they are, smiling as they sit down to eat together in safety. The compassion shown towards these young refugees is heartwarming. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and hardship, there are still moments of humanity and kindness that shine through. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of providing aid and support to those who have been uprooted from their homes due to violence and persecution. These children deserve a chance at a better future, free from fear and suffering. Let us never forget the resilience and strength displayed by these Spanish refugee children near Southampton in 1937. Their smiles serve as a beacon of hope during dark times.
