Sweet Escape
Imagine being a kid, whisked away from war-torn Britain and landing in a place where soda fountains and ice cream sundaes were the norm. This 1940 LIFE magazine photo captures young British evacuees savoring ginger ale and sweet treats in the US—a world away from the Blitz. For a moment, they weren’t refugees, just kids enjoying a bit of sugar, safety, and wide-eyed wonder. Do you have some stories from this time?
