“LIKE GUARDSMEN ON PARADE” was the tribute paid by naval rescuers to the behaviour of the party of British children after the liner in which they were being taken to Canada was torpedoed on August 27. They laughed and sang as they were ushered into the lifeboats, and every one of the children was saved. Here are some of the children, with blankets over their night-clothes, coming ashore at a British port. Other pictures pertaining to the problem of child welfare in wartime are published on page 7.
