Hi, Everyone.
Glad to say, I have a new book underway - and I am looking for pictures, images, photographs, etc. The book is "Goodnight Children, Everywhere," and it tells the story of the millions of children who were evacuated from British cities, especially from London, just at the onset of World War Two, September, 1939.
What I'm looking for is images of the children leaving schools, railway stations, children on trains, arriving at destinations, with host families. I'd also like pictures of villages where children were sent, as well as old pictures of places they left...example, Hackney, Islington, and so on. Pictures of kids down in the air raid shelters would also be useful. Lots of children returned to the cities quickly - just in time for the Blitz!
Does anyone have images like this that they would permit me to use? For credit, of course, and even for a small fee. I would be eternally grateful.
Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!
Monica
