The evacuees were children and specific adults who evacuated from London and other towns to protect them from being killed by the bombs Hitler kept sending to England. In the English language evacuees is the proper reference for the people who had to evacuate. We would not say evactuationers or evatuators.
If you are asking where children from the cities being bombed or likely to be bombed in WWII were evacuated to, then the answer is the countryside. We had a few cockney evacuees in my village. We treated them like aliens from Mars. no loser
nobody cares where the hellthey went only that they're safe, brotha
There may have been evacuees but no one has any prove. Except for in 1917 when two girls sent a letter home to their brother but no one knows if they were just on holiday or if they actually been evacuated.
Because it was too dangerous for them to stay in London (or other cities) where they could be bombed. They were sent to the country instead, to keep them safe.
Children under the age of 16 were eligible to be evacuated during World War II in the United Kingdom.
Yes my mother and her brother were evacuated to New Zealand when they were aged 9 and 11.
Because the cities were being bombed by the Germans and so they were not safe there
