EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the Waifs and Strays Society's first emigration party to Canada in 1913. The Waifs and Strays Society was a British charity dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. In an effort to provide these children with new opportunities and a better future, the society arranged for regular emigration parties to Canada. In this image, a group of boys, dressed in overcoats and caps, stand proudly in front of a railway carriage. Their expressions suggest a mix of excitement and apprehension as they prepare to embark on a new journey. The railway carriage, a symbol of departure and new beginnings, looms large in the background. The Waifs and Strays Society's emigration parties were an essential part of their services, offering children a chance to start anew in a new land. The society believed that a fresh environment and new opportunities could help these children overcome the challenges they had faced in their young lives. The journey to Canada represented a new start, filled with hope and possibilities. The boys in this photograph, and countless others like them, were given the opportunity to leave behind their past and build a new future through the generosity and support of the Waifs and Strays Society and their supporters. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that charities and social welfare services play in providing care and support to those in need, especially during times of hardship and uncertainty.
