DescriptionMonochrome photograph of a group of men in military uniform posing for a picture, there is a sign in the background that reads ‘Edinburgh Bairns’ hut’.

This image was published in ''YM, The British YMCA Weekly', Vol 2, No 53, 14 January 1916, p 20; it accompanies an article entitled 'How the Children Raised the Wind'. The School Girls and Boys' Contribution to our Huts' by W. Scott King. The article reports on a letter sent by Lord Kinnaird to about 28,00 'day scholars, Sunday-schools, and public schools' in which he appealed for a contribution of a penny from each pupil and the resulting stories of generosity.
