DescriptionAdvertisement for Dr Barnardo's Homes. This advertisement includes a photograph of ten young Naval cadets, with the caption 'TRAINED FOR THE NATION'S SERVICE.' The advertisement informs us that these cadets have been trained at Watts Naval Training School in Eltham, which is a Dr Barnardo's home for orphans. We are further told that '9,282 Barnardo Boys are serving the Empire in the Navy, Army and Mercantile Marine.' The advertisement is appealing to 'Sea-Pie' readers for donations to help them train more children. Dr Barnardo's homes were founded by a Christain medical missionary, Thomas John Barnardo. An Irishman by birth, Barnardo began working with impoverished, disabled and orphaned children in London's east end in 1866. The first Barnardo's boys' home opened in 1870. Shortly thereafter the first girls' home opened in Barkingside, London. Barnardo also introduced fostering schemes, where children were boarded out to better-off families, sometimes in Canada or Australia. By the time Barnardo died in 1905, 96 homes carried his name.
