EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures Henry Willink, Member of Parliament (M.P.), in the midst of his humanitarian efforts as the Special Commissioner for the Homeless in London during World War II. The image was taken in September 1940, a time when the city was under relentless attack from German air raids, or Blitz, resulting in widespread destruction and displacement. With a determined expression on his face, Willink is seen inspecting the conditions at a temporary shelter for the homeless, providing a sense of hope and compassion amidst the chaos and devastation. As the bombing campaigns intensified, the number of homeless people in London grew exponentially, with an estimated 200,000 people left without shelter. In response, Willink was appointed as the Special Commissioner for the Homeless by the London County Council, working tirelessly to provide temporary accommodation, food, and support for those who had lost their homes. His efforts were a crucial part of the broader home front effort during the war, demonstrating the resilience and compassion of the British people in the face of adversity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of community and compassion in times of crisis. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Henry Willink and the countless others who worked to alleviate the suffering of London's homeless population during the darkest days of World War II.
