What is evacuees?

Answer 1

Evacuees are when children from London during World War II were evacuated to the country side. They would be sent away from their families; so that they could work in the war - to the country side where they started a new life with completely different people and things around them, that they haven't seen before.

It was unsafe for the children to live in London while their were bombs, as they would die too quickly from a young age.

So they were taken away by a train to the country side where they were safe from the bombs, but their families couldn't come with them as they had to work in the war, but they were allowed to send letters and gifts to them whenever they could. Starting a life in the country side was hard for the children as they had to settle in to a new environment and living with people who they didn't even know. Allot of the time, children who were evacuated got bullied by the country children, saying mean things about them; dirty and horrible, which probably made the children even more worse and uncomfortable.

When the war was finished the children were allowed to go back home to their families ( that is if they didn't die )

But some children decided that they didn't want to go back to the country side for 2 resin's.

1: They got used to the country side so much, and they loved it and they didn't care about their families and settled in with their new family well that they didn't want to go back. ( but they would still probably keep in touch - visit )

2: They could of been badly abused and didn't want to go back to their parents as they would of been too scared, so they would stay in the country side and live their instead.

I hope this has helped!
