EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1943, we are transported back to the heart of World War II. The matron of East Ham children's home has ingeniously devised a new mode of transport to give the children much-needed changes of scene. With limited nurses available to control large numbers of prams, this innovative method has proven to be a resounding success in transporting the little ones around various parts of the grounds. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the matron's novel creation: a twelve-child pram crafted according to her own design. Its unusual appearance draws both amusement and curiosity, showcasing how even during times as challenging as war, moments of lightheartedness can still emerge. This snapshot captures not only an era but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by individuals amidst adversity. As we delve into this glimpse from history, it becomes clear that these children have found solace within their nursery walls. Their innocent laughter echoes through time, reminding us that joy can be found even in seemingly dark periods. This photograph encapsulates both humor and warmth while shedding light on an extraordinary chapter in our collective past.
