Lost children of the Empire by Philip Bean and Joy Melville (Second Hand)

Lost Children of the Empire tells the harrowing story of Britain's child migration schemes, which sent thousands of children to former colonies such as Australia and Canada. Intended as a solution to poverty and overcrowding, these programs often led to hardship, exploitation, and lifelong separation from family.

Inside you'll discover:

• The historical background and motivations behind child migration

• First-hand accounts from those affected

• The role of government, charities, and religious organizations

• The long-term impact on individuals and families

This powerful book is essential reading for anyone researching 20th-century British social history or tracing ancestors who may have been part of these schemes.
