EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Emigrant Boys from Hedgerley Court Farm Home in Buckinghamshire, England, as they bid farewell to their loved ones before embarking on a new life in Canada in 1924. The Hedgerley Court Farm Home for Boys was established in 1893 by the Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable organization dedicated to providing shelter, education, and training for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The Waifs and Strays Society believed that a fresh start in a new country would offer these boys a better chance at a productive and fulfilling life. With the support of the Canadian government and various charitable organizations, the Society arranged for the emigration of over 3,000 boys between 1899 and 1939. In this image, we see a group of young boys, dressed in their best clothes and holding small suitcases, standing in front of a crowd of family members and well-wishers. The boys' faces express a range of emotions - excitement, sadness, apprehension, and determination. The women in the crowd, many with tears in their eyes, cling to their children, knowing that they may never see them again. The Waifs and Strays Society's emigration program was a testament to the power of compassion and the belief that every child deserves a chance at a better life. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these boys and their families, and the hope that a new life in Canada offered them. The boys' journey from Hedgerley Court Farm Home to Canada marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, filled with challenges and opportunities.
