During World War II, the evacuation of civilians in London primarily involved children and vulnerable individuals. The British government initiated a program known as "Operation Pied Piper," which began in September 1939, to relocate children from urban areas, especially those at risk of bombing, to safer rural locations. This evacuation aimed to protect them from the dangers of air raids and ensure their safety during the conflict. Many families were separated as a result, with children being placed with host families in the countryside.
Children were evacuated out of London because the German bombing (Blitz) was very dangerous and parent and the government wanted to protect the children. Some woman and the elderly were evacuated as well, but most woman stayed because of their jobs. Hardly any men were evacuated because most men were called off to fight in the B.R.A.F (British Royal Air Force).
For many British children, life was full of fear and hardships. The Germans attacked England repeatedly, especially London. Many children were sent to live in America or into foster homes in the British countryside to wait for the end of the war.
The evacuees arrived in Northampton during World War II, primarily starting in September 1939, when the British government initiated the evacuation of children and vulnerable individuals from major cities to safer rural areas. This was part of a broader effort to protect them from the anticipated bombing raids by German forces. Northampton served as one of the many destinations for these evacuees throughout the war.

The main reason for the evacuation of children during World War II, particularly in Britain, was to protect them from the dangers of air raids and bombing in urban areas. The British government implemented the evacuation program to relocate children from cities to safer rural locations, reducing their exposure to potential harm and ensuring their safety during the conflict. This initiative aimed to alleviate the fears of parents and maintain the continuity of children's education and well-being during the war.

The British were very united in winning the war. Some sent their children to Canada for safety. There were those that went on to the roofs of churches and other monuments during the bombings to help protect these buildings.
