they stayed there or were killed
During World War II, A.A. Milne and his wife opened their home, Cotchford Farm, to around 60 child evacuees from London. These children had been sent to the countryside for safety during the bombings of London.
The evacuees usually escaped from the large cities to the countryside and stayed their for the remainder of the war, and then they were re-united with the rest of their family.
Evacuees of London, England during World War II, most of them children, were sent to towns and cities that were north of London, England. Many citizens of London, England stayed in underground shelters overnight during the bombings. They had to leave them during the day and then stand in line to get back into them at night.
In the movie "The Evacuees", Alan Miles performs many duties at the house he stays at. These include performing farm work and cooking meals.
No, not all evacuees stayed away from their parents for the entire war. While many children were evacuated to safer areas to escape the dangers of bombing in cities, some were able to reunite with their families during breaks or when circumstances allowed. Additionally, some parents chose to evacuate with their children or remained close by. The extent of separation varied greatly depending on individual circumstances and the duration of the war.
There is no comprehensive official list of evacuees from Essex in 1939, as records were often maintained locally and may vary by locality. Evacuation during World War II involved many children and vulnerable individuals relocating to various areas, primarily rural regions, to escape bombing. Some local authorities may have records of evacuees and their placements, but these are not uniformly compiled at a national level. Local archives or historical societies may provide more specific information on this topic.
Well.... Imagine being taken from your parents at a young age. It was painful for many. But some evacuees got lucky and stayed with nice families. + They were safe from the Blitz in London.
Evacuees in World War II primarily left their homes to escape the dangers of bombings and military conflicts, particularly during the Blitz when German forces targeted British cities. The British government organized mass evacuations, especially of children, to safeguard them from the immediate threats of warfare. Many families were separated, as parents sent their children to rural areas deemed safer, while adults often stayed behind to support the war effort or manage their homes. This evacuation aimed to protect the most vulnerable and maintain morale on the home front.
