Yes indeed. The child evacuations of World War II were done to keep the children safe from the intense bombings. The feelings of these children were a national concern in England, but it was deemed necessary for the continuation of that generation.

One of the most loved children's series, "The Chronicles of Narnia" detailed a typical child's reaction to being sent away. External to the fantasy aspect, one reads that the four children were defensive, lost, and bewildered by the transition. The professor was kindly but reclusive, the housekeeper was overly defensive, and the children were forced to evaluate their new condition.

While the children were aware of the reasons for evacuation, they still did not understand the feeling of abandonment. In many instances, they were not returned to their parents for many years, and the reestablishment of a family was a hard thing. While they missed their parents, they grew as children do and changed. Many adjustments had to be made when the children went home.
