Babies and toddlers saved from The Blitz.
***note to editors - caption suggests the picture was taken at Warwick Lodge, and that they are possibly guessed of The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester***.
It is not clear where Warwick Lodge actually is, so Mirrorpix have entered London (which can include the South East of England) in its location field.
Picture taken 28th April 1942

EDITORS COMMENTS
Babies and toddlers saved from The Blitz - a poignant reminder of the resilience and compassion during wartime. This remarkable photo print, taken on April 28th, 1942, captures a group of little ones who were fortunate enough to find refuge from the devastating bombings that plagued London during World War II. Though the exact location remains uncertain, it is believed that this heartwarming scene unfolded at Warwick Lodge. Speculation suggests that these cherubic faces may be offspring of The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester; however, no confirmation has been made. The image serves as a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by families torn apart by conflict. Amidst chaos and destruction, these innocent souls found solace in each other's company within the walls of this sanctuary. As bombs rained down upon their beloved city, brave caregivers worked tirelessly to shield these precious lives from harm's way. Their selfless acts ensured that even amidst war's darkest hours, hope still flickered in the eyes of these resilient children. This photograph encapsulates an era defined by sacrifice and unity on the home front. It stands as a symbol not only for those directly affected but also for countless others whose stories remain untold. Preserved through time with utmost care by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot invites us to reflect on our shared history while honoring those who safeguarded innocence amidst turmoil.
