The United Kingdom was split into geographical areas called; Evacuation areas (which inluded main cities and industrial towns) Reception Area (which were considered safer from air raids) and Neutral Areas.
Evacuees in WW2:
All children in Evacuation areas were offered the chance to escape to a Reception area, and it was very brutal with children and infants being given a luggage tag to say who they were. Quite often the children were sent to farms and expected to work and suffered neglect as well as emotional, physical and sexual abuse,and often slept in barns. Of course there were happy stories of couples who were unable to have children of their own delighting at having a child to look after.
No children moved in or out of the neutral areas.
Usually the evacuees were children from built up areas such as London. This was done to keep them safe from air raids which the Germans done most nights. Many evacuees found it strange living in the countryside as they had not seem many farmyard animal species such as cows before.
