At Top — WAR S AFTERMATH. Tiny tots play with dolls and a doll's pram in the war rubbled streets of Berlin. According to the information received with this picture from England, scenes such as this are common in the German capital to-day. The English caption writer observes, however, that touching as photographs of war - afflicted German youngsters are, it should never be forgotten that England has seen many such scenes as this over the last six years. Forgetting the implications of how this devastation was brought about, the picture is a remarkable tribute, to the resiliency of the child mind everywhere, for who but a child could fashion these grim pieces of masonry into a make-believe house and pass happy hours away?
