yes they did write letters home
The evacuees were evacuated on the 3rd of September 1939
Evacuees in WW2 were allowed teddies. Many pictures of evacuees boarding the trains have children with teddies.
The evacuees went to these locations: Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, all of Wales, The Lake District in the Northwest, The Highlands of Scotland, and the south coast. Some places the children and adults were evacuated to such as Plymouth and Bristol were bombed so they had to move the kids again to other places.
They got a letter sent to them saying that they had to take in evacuees because of the world war 2.
Labels were tied on to evacuees when they left home
Some have yet to return. The vast majority of people who were evacuated by the government to Houston lived there for at least a year due to leases they'd signed.
they still weren't allowed home
