This photo was taken in 1940 by George Rodger. It's an interesting photo because it's portraying life for civilians in London during WWII. It caught my eye because of how young the children are and here they are preparing at any moment for a possible bombing. In the description for the photo it explains that steel helmets like the one the boy is wearing, were worn by all who could get them. Most likely they were in short supply and the family could not get one for everyone. I thought it was a good example of a documentary photo because it's capturing a part of an important historical event.
