EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War II, the evacuation of children from London became a necessary measure to protect them from the imminent threat of air raids. In this poignant image, a nurse leads a group of young evacuees, all wearing gas masks, across a playground at an LCC (London County Council) Residential School near Windsor in 1941. The children, some clinging to each other for comfort, appear solemn and focused as they follow their nurse, who guides them through the process of getting accustomed to wearing their masks. The playground, usually a place of joy and laughter, now serves as a makeshift training ground for a grim reality. The nurse's gentle yet firm demeanor offers a sense of security and reassurance to the young evacuees, as they learn to adapt to their new surroundings and the harsh realities of wartime life. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the children and adults affected by the war, and the lengths they went to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
