EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in history during the tumultuous times of World War Two. As the situation in France worsened and enemy invasion loomed over the vulnerable South Coast, a crucial decision was made to evacuate children from these areas. The image showcases evacuees from the Kent and Sussex coast arriving at Belper on June 15th, 1940. The photograph transports us back to an era defined by war and conflict, where innocence collided with harsh realities. Rows of carriages stand ready on the platform of a railway station, symbolizing hope amidst uncertainty. Children, their faces etched with both fear and curiosity, disembark from the train that carried them away from danger. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not just an evacuation but also a testament to resilience and sacrifice on the home front. These young souls were uprooted from their familiar surroundings for their own safety while their parents faced unimaginable challenges elsewhere. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of how war disrupts lives indiscriminately – even those who should be shielded from its horrors. This print encapsulates an important chapter in our collective memory; it is a tribute to all those affected by conflict and stands as evidence of humanity's enduring spirit during dark times.
