EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War II, the Ministry of Health assures the public that the evacuation of mothers and babies from bombing areas is being handled with the utmost care and attention. In this poignant image, a mother cradles her infant, both of them looking content and at ease in their new surroundings. The mother holds a letter in her hand, penning a note to her family back home, expressing her gratitude for the excellent care they have received. The foster family, who have opened their doors to accommodate the evacuees, work closely with local authorities and health officers to ensure the wellbeing of the children. The Ministry of Health's poster reassures the public that all necessary assistance and information is being provided to help make this transition as smooth as possible for both the mothers and their babies. The image captures the spirit of community and cooperation that emerged during the war years, as people came together to support one another in times of need. The 1940s saw an unprecedented wave of billeting and fostering, with millions of children being evacuated from urban areas to safer rural locations. This poster serves as a reminder of the vital role that local communities and families played in providing a safe and nurturing environment for evacuated mothers and babies during the war.
