EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of World War Two, this poignant print showcases the resilience and spirit of children evacuated from Rochester to a camp in Wrens Wood, Ashdown Forest. Despite being uprooted from their homes due to the ongoing conflict, these young evacuees have formed their own band, armed with an array of instruments that bring joy amidst adversity. Nestled among towering pines, this makeshift camp not only provides shelter but also serves as a classroom for these brave souls. Here they receive education while surrounded by nature's embrace. The open air becomes their playground where laughter and playtime intertwine seamlessly. Dated 27th May 1941, this snapshot encapsulates the indomitable spirit of those living on the home front during wartime. It reminds us that even in times of turmoil and uncertainty, music has the power to uplift spirits and create moments of respite. Located in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, this sanctuary offers solace amid chaos—a temporary haven for these displaced children who find comfort through song and camaraderie. With an accordion serenading melodies alongside a banjo's cheerful strumming, their voices unite in harmony as they sing songs that echo hope across war-torn landscapes. This image is a testament to human resilience and highlights how even amidst darkness; light can be found through unity and shared experiences.
