EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to September 1939, a time when the world was on the brink of war. The image captures Headmaster Mr Rixon at St Michaels Church School on Buckingham Palace Road, as he gives last minute instructions to a group of children who are about to embark on a life-altering journey. As Operation Pied Piper swings into action, these young evacuees stand before their trusted teacher with anticipation and uncertainty etched across their faces. Their innocent eyes reflect both fear and curiosity as they prepare for an unknown future away from home. The backdrop of St Michaels Church serves as a poignant reminder that even sacred places cannot escape the harsh realities of war. It is within these hallowed walls that these children seek solace and guidance before being sent off to unfamiliar destinations in the countryside. This photograph not only encapsulates the social history of England during World War II but also highlights the resilience and courage displayed by both teachers and students alike. In this moment frozen in time, we witness Mr Rixon's dedication to his pupils' safety and well-being amidst turbulent times. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by an unknown photographer, let us remember those countless individuals whose lives were forever altered by evacuation - a testament to humanity's enduring spirit even in times of turmoil.
