This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the Salvation Army communal kitchen in Bermondsey, London, during the year 1917. The image transports us back to a time when hunger was rampant and poverty plagued many lives. In this humble setting, people from all walks of life gather together with hope in their eyes and desperation etched on their faces. The Salvation Army, an evangelical Protestant charitable movement founded by William Booth in 1865, played a crucial role in providing sustenance for those who were hungry and destitute. This communal kitchen served as a lifeline for countless individuals struggling to survive amidst the hardships of early 20th century London. As we observe the scene closely, we notice children patiently waiting alongside adults in a long queue. Their innocent faces bear witness to the harsh realities they have already experienced at such tender ages. Yet within this somber atmosphere, there is also resilience and unity among these individuals bound by their shared struggle. The monochrome composition adds depth to the photograph's narrative, emphasizing both the starkness of their circumstances and the timeless nature of charity work. Through this powerful image captured by an unknown creator but preserved by HW Wilson's collection, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for compassion even amidst adversity. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and humanitarian efforts that continue to shape our world today. It stands as a reminder that no matter how challenging times may be or how desperate one's situation appears – there
