EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Millfield House in Edmonton, London, which served as a home for Belgian refugees in 1914. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, the image portrays a moment of respite and care for the thousands of children and youth who had been displaced by the conflict. The Belgian refugees, mostly women and children, had fled their homes due to the German invasion of their country. Millfield House, a grand Victorian mansion, was repurposed as a temporary shelter and care facility for these refugees. The photograph shows the children playing and laughing in the lush gardens, a testament to the efforts of the British people to provide them with a sense of normalcy and joy during a time of great upheaval. The children's homes, which can be seen in the background, were designed to accommodate the large number of refugees and ensure their wellbeing. The social housing facility, run by the Belgian Red Cross and the British Quaker Committee for the Relief of Belgian Refugees, provided essential services such as education, healthcare, and food. The residents were also given employment opportunities, enabling them to contribute to their own support and that of the community. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the humanitarian spirit that emerged during the First World War, as people from all walks of life came together to provide aid and comfort to those in need. The legacy of Millfield House as a symbol of hope and care for refugees continues to inspire us today, as we strive to create safe and welcoming environments for those who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution.
