WANTED: HOME FOR BABY BOY. AGED 1 MONTH. COMPLETE SURRENDER
In late 1942 that advert was placed in the Reading Mercury. Two weeks later on the deserted platform of Reading railway station, a young couple who had read the advert were to fleetingly meet the mother of this baby boy as she passed the child over to them.
I heard about this book on the local radio yesterday. It reminded me of all the old newspapers which I have at my studio. They have lots of interesting ads, (although none giving away babies).
It made me want to go and get them, which means I will have to take a walk to the studio in the snow and ice...oh no!
I will post some of them later...
