In WWII, children were evacuated usually by train or boat. If it was by boat then that usually meant that they were being migrated to Canada to keep safe from the bombing in Britain. However, immigration was strict and not popular in the USA. at the time. At least one boat got sunk from German torpedoes on it's journey. If it was by train, that usually meant being shipped to the countryside to keep safe as there were not many bombings in the countryside during WWII.
The evacuees had absolutely no say at all in where they went, unless they had relatives living in one of the 'safe' areas. They were basically herded into the trains and sent off, with no idea where they were going at all. Their parents would have had no idea either until they got a letter from their child. Once they got to the village in which they were staying, they were taken to the village hall or school and were made to stand around the edge of it. It was then the villagers duty to come and choose as many children as they had spare beds. If there was not enough room for all of the children, then a billeter would take any remaining children around the village in case someone hadn't come to collect a child whenm they had a spare bed or to see if someone was willing to let the child squeeze into their house for a day or two until someone had been found who could take them in. Hope this helps!
