Lost Children of the EmpireThis is the story of Britain's child migrants, some 130,000 of them, who were shipped off to parts of the British Empire between 1860 and 1930 and forgotten. Even as late as 1967 children were still being sent to Australia. The book looks at the Child Migrants Trust set up in 1987. |
