What cities did children have to be evacuated from during World War 2?
Trulytoni
Evacuation took place during the first months of World War Two. Evacuation was a potentially traumatic occurrence and the government tried to lessen its impact by issuing advice to all of those impacted by evacuation. This advice was delivered to what the government referred to as "evacuable" areas - the advice is clearly biased towards the government's viewpoint - that evacuation was for the best and pushed home hard the potential consequences of what might happen if children were not evacuated from danger areas.
The evacuation of Britain's cities at the start of World War Two was the biggest and most concentrated mass movement of people in Britain's history. In the first four days of September 1939, nearly 3,000,000 people were transported from towns and cities in danger from enemy bombers to places of safety in the countryside.
