Bombed out of their convent, the Sisters of St. Anne
Bombed out of their convent, the Sisters of St. Anne, with members of the Friends Ambulance unit, give sanctuary to homeless women and children at a rest centre in Surrey Square, south east London. For many days these kindly Sisters of Mercy did their work by the light of candles and hurricane lamps.. but now there is an electric stove, and Christmas pudding is on the way. Here tired mothers find peace and rest and their little children happiness and love. February 1943 P009954

In this poignant photograph captured in February 1943, we witness the unwavering dedication and compassion these kindly Sisters of Mercy exhibit amidst the chaos and destruction brought by World War II. With resilience as their guiding light, these tireless sisters carried out their noble work under flickering candlelight and hurricane lamps until now when an electric stove illuminates their path. As Christmas approaches, hope fills the air as they prepare a heartwarming feast that includes a traditional Christmas pudding. Within these walls weary mothers find solace and respite from the hardships they face daily. Their little ones are embraced with open arms, experiencing happiness and love within this haven created by selfless souls who understand that even during times of conflict, humanity's spirit can prevail.
