FOSTER PARENTS PLAN LONDON NURSERY: CARING FOR DISPLACED CHILDREN, LONDON, ENGLAND, 1941

Three-and-a-half-year-old Anga Fitzgibbon, who is half-French, (left) stands in her cot in the sick room of the 'Foster Parents Plan for War Children' nursery in Hampstead as she watches a nurse examine the throat of Mickey Byrne, who has bronchitis. According to the original caption, Mickey has never had a home of his own as his mother, who now works in the laundry of the nursery, was in domestic service. His father was a fire-watcher and was killed in 1940. Mrs Byrne has four children in the nursery.
