An Original Vintage Linenbacked English World War II Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More)

Help the City Children, the 1940s (possibly 1939) English World War II (WWII) poster ("Making a new home for Evacuees is a National Service."; "Issued by the Ministry of Defense") encouraging people living in rural areas to take in children fleeing from the German bombardment of British cities. Note that this poster features an image of fearful two children. The evacuation of civilians in Britain during the Second World War was designed to protect people, especially children, from the risks associated with aerial bombing of cities by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk. Operation Pied Piper began in September of 1939, and officially relocated more than 3.5 million people. There were further waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation from the south and east coasts in June 1940, when a seaborne invasion was expected, and from affected cities after the Blitz began in September 1940.
