The evacuation of World War 2 was mainly in the bigger cities and working cities of the UK and some of Europe. Children, mothers with young babies and old people were moved out of the cities to be safe from bombing and some of them didn't return until a few years after the war finished. When the children arrived home, some had no homes to go to as the were bombed.

Children were labelled and sent to the countryside with their gas marks and stayed in local houses. The rental bill was paid by the government. Bombing did not start and gas was never used.This was known as the phoney war.
