The Birkenhead, a British troopship that sank in 1852, primarily carried soldiers, their families, and crew members. Most of the passengers were soldiers from the 12th Regiment of Foot, along with some women and children. The ship was transporting these individuals to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa for military service. The tragic sinking highlighted the courage of those on board, as many men sacrificed themselves to ensure the safety of women and children during the evacuation.

On the contrary, they were evacuated OUT. I should know, because we took in 2 children from B'head, & there were other evacuees billeted at several homes in our road. We lived about 7 miles out of B'head. Merseyside (i.e. Liverpool & Birkenhead was a prime target for the Luftwaffe because L'pool was the major port for the transatlantic convoys, and they built ships & submarines at B'head.
