EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of a daylight raid on Ethelburga Street School in Battersea, London. Taken on February 16th, 1941, during the heart-wrenching days of World War II, it serves as a stark reminder of the destruction caused by air raids during the Blitz. The image showcases the resilience and strength of both civilians and their educational institutions amidst war and conflict. The damage inflicted upon this once vibrant school is evident - shattered windows, crumbling walls, and debris scattered across its grounds. It stands as a testament to the bravery of teachers who continued to educate despite such adversity. This photograph also highlights the crucial role played by civil defense efforts during this tumultuous period. The tireless work carried out by individuals dedicated to protecting their communities from harm is palpable in every detail captured by George Greenwell's lens.
