Over 100,000 children were sent across the seas to Canada between 1869 and the late 1930s. Many thousands more were dispatched to Australia - as well as to New Zealand, South Africa and Rhodesia - up to and even after WWII. These young migrants came from charitable organizations or children's homes, and were sent to find a better life as agricultural workers and servants, mechanics and skilled artisans. This compelling book explores the real story of Britain's Home Children, drawing on eyewitness accounts and historical evidence from the National Archives and beyond. Illustrated with over 40 original photographs, letters and documents.
