What is "war child"

n. A child who has grown up in wartime.

War Child is the seventh studio album by Jethro Tull, released in October 1974. It was released almost a year and a half after the release of A Passion Play. The turmoil over the critics of the last album and the supposed disbanding of the band surrounds the production of War Child, which obliged the band to do press conferences and explain the next plans for Jethro Tull.

War Child is a non-governmental organisation founded in the UK in 1993 which provides assistance to children in areas experiencing conflict and the aftermath of conflict. The establishment of War Child UK was soon followed by organisations in Canada and the Netherlands.
