EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image from 1939, a young evacuee girl, dressed in a simple frock and holding a small suitcase, runs joyfully towards her mother in a Sussex village. The mother, wearing a hat and coat, extends her arms in a warm embrace as they reunite in a heartfelt moment of love and comfort. This touching scene captures the essence of the evacuation process during World War II, as families were forced to separate due to the threat of air raids and bombings in urban areas. The evacuation of children from London and other cities began in September 1939, as the reality of the war set in and the threat of air raids became a daily concern. Over the next few years, more than three million children were evacuated to rural areas, where they were hoped to be safer from the ravages of war. Many were taken in by foster families, while others went to schools and institutions. This photograph captures the happiness and relief that came with a visit from a loved one during these trying times. The mother's presence brought a sense of normalcy and comfort to her daughter, who was far from home and in an unfamiliar environment. The joy on the little girl's face speaks volumes about the importance of family and the enduring power of love, even in the midst of war. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by families during World War II, and the importance of cherishing the moments of happiness and love that came their way. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and the enduring power of family to provide comfort and support in times of need.
