EDITORS COMMENTS
World War II April 1939 - The Sunshine Home for blind babies at East Grinstead Sussex. In this poignant photo print, a group of brave and resilient children don their gas masks as part of an ARP respiratory drill. Despite their visual impairment, these little heroes follow in line hand in shoulders, unaware of the true purpose behind their protective gear. The Sunshine Home serves as a sanctuary for these blind babies amidst the chaos and uncertainty brought by World War II. Here, they find solace and support from dedicated caregivers who strive to shield them from the harsh realities outside. With innocence shining through their smiles, they perceive this drill as nothing more than an engaging game. These precious souls are not burdened with knowledge about the looming threat of gas attacks that haunts every adult's mind during wartime. Instead, they embrace each moment with joy and resilience, reminding us all that even in darkness there is light. This powerful image captures both the vulnerability and strength within these young hearts facing adversity head-on. It symbolizes the indomitable spirit of those affected by war – finding courage where others may see only fear. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let us honor these blind children who unknowingly became symbols of hope during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
