East End children, 1917 Gallery: Third Gallery Description: The little girl on the right is 4-year old Leah Lachman, born in 1913, with her sister on the left and baby brother in the arms of a midwife. Their proud mother Rachel stands behind. Tragedy was to follow; a year later Rachel would be dead, victim of a flu epidemic. Brought up in poverty in Whitechapel, Leah subsequently became Leah Walker and lived to the age of 86. Her grandson, Jonathan, designed this website.
