The children needed to be protected from dying in the bombing blitz. The Ministry of Health came up with a program to evacuate the children, some mothers, disabled and very old people to the countryside. The "evacuees" were sent to farms and other country homes. Many of the children loved seeing farms, farm animals and the countryside for the first time. Some suffered from home sickness. It did work. After the blitz was over they came home to their parents.

Many of the mothers had to stay in the city to work for the war effort or because they were widows and had to work to provide for their family.
