British Home Child Day

September 28, 2022
Today is British Home Child Day. From 1896-1948 the British Home Child Program saw over 100,000 boys & girls shipped from the UK to Canada to serve mainly as cheap labour for the families they were placed with here. My great grandfather, Sheriff Atcheson Thompson was one of them.
