EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in history - the evacuation of children during World War II. Taken at a railway station in September 1939, it showcases the heart-wrenching scene as young boys and girls bid farewell to their families, embarking on an uncertain journey to safety. The image is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. The photograph exudes authenticity with its depiction of children dressed in uniforms, clutching suitcases and holding onto cherished belongings. A nurse can be seen providing comfort and reassurance amidst the chaos, while parents anxiously watch their little ones board trains bound for unknown destinations. The backdrop reveals an era frozen in time - an old car parked nearby, an antiquated bicycle leaning against a wall. These elements serve as reminders of simpler times disrupted by war's relentless grip. Washing lines adorned with clothes flutter gently above the bustling scene, symbolizing domesticity left behind as these innocent souls are thrust into a world forever changed by conflict. As we gaze upon this evocative snapshot from our past, let us remember those brave children who faced unimaginable challenges during wartime. Their resilience and courage continue to inspire generations today.
