EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of departure for a group of young evacuees as they enter Catford station in southeast London during the summer of 1940. The Second World War was in full swing, and the threat of German air raids loomed large over the city. With the sirens wailing in the distance, these children, many of them schoolchildren, were leaving their homes and families behind to seek safety in the countryside. The scene at the station is one of order and determination, as the children, some carrying small suitcases or holding hands with their teachers, make their way towards the train that will take them to their new temporary homes. Their expressions are a mix of excitement, apprehension, and sadness, reflecting the uncertainty of the journey ahead. The evacuation of children from London and other urban areas was a massive undertaking, with over three million people evacuated from the cities between September 1939 and May 1940. The aim was to remove them from the danger of bombing raids and provide them with a safer environment in which to grow up. Despite the challenges and hardships that the evacuees faced, the evacuation program was a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during a time of great upheaval. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these children and their families during the darkest days of the Second World War.
