EDITORS COMMENTS
Mothers and Children: A Call for Evacuation - Protecting Lives during the Second World War This poignant poster, issued by the Ministry of Health Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War, urges mothers to leave their homes and seek safety for themselves and their children. The image depicts a concerned sister helping her pregnant sister prepare to evacuate, emphasizing the importance of family support during this time. The caption reads, "Ministry of Health Evacuation Scheme: Let them go - give them a chance of greater safety and health." The poster reflects the heightened sense of danger and uncertainty brought about by the bombing campaigns, commonly known as the Blitz, during the war. The government's evacuation scheme aimed to move civilians, particularly children, away from urban areas and into safer rural locations. This was a crucial measure to protect lives and reduce the impact of bombing raids on civilian populations. The poster's design is simple yet powerful, using clear, concise language and a compelling image to convey the urgency of the situation. The use of the word "evacuees" emphasizes the collective nature of the crisis and the need for a coordinated response from the public. The image of the pair of women, one pregnant and the other helping her sister, underscores the importance of caring for one another during this challenging time. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Second World War and the lengths to which governments and communities went to protect their citizens. It also highlights the resilience and compassion of individuals in the face of danger and adversity.
