Evacuees in WW2:
- Children
- Mothers with young babies
- Expectant mothers
- Teachers (1 for every 8 children)
- Infirm children (blind, suffering from polio or disabilities)
All children in Evacuation areas were offered the chance to escape to a Reception area, and it was very brutal with children and infants being given a luggage tag to say who they were. Quite often the children were sent to farms and expected to work and suffered neglect as well as emotional, physical and sexual abuse,and often slept in barns. Of course there were happy stories of couples who were unable to have children of their own delighting at having a child to look after.
No children moved in or out of the neutral areas.
