Answer 1

The were several groups of people that were evacuated as part as the government scheme. The largest group were the children aged 5 to 15. Pregnant women, handicapped and blind were others that were evacuated to areas deemed safe.

As part of the government scheme the land of GB was divided into 3 areas, evacuate, neutral, and safe.

There were the actual evacuees as well as those who were forced to house the evacuees. Those wealthy enough could also evacuee themselves to the same areas.

One other government run scheme was the children sent overseas as part of CORB

Answer 2

Families were not evacuated during WW2, it was children who lived in London and other large cities who were evacuated to the country in order that they should not be affected by the expected bombing. The evacuation took place immediately before and just after wasr broke out. During the period of the phoney war - September 1939 to May 1940 many could not see why they needed to be away, so returned home.

Answer 3

Many children in London were evacuated to the countryside, and even to other countries, during WWII.

Answer 4

They were affected by the fact that husbands, sons, brothers, and fathers were away at war. It was a worrying and distressing time for many women as they feared harm coming to their loved ones overseas. They dreaded the possible arrival of the telegram - "We regret to inform you -" it must have been at the back of most women's minds as they went about their daily business. Rationing made life very difficult for women. it wasn't as bad in the USA as it was in the UK, but many things were in very short supply including meat, cheese, sugar, etc, and also things like gasoline and clothes. women who couldn't get stockings painted their legs , magazines carried guides showing them how to do it. Civilians got stamps every month that gave them the right to buy different products. "My mother and all the neighbors would get together around the dining-room table and they'd be changing a sugar coupon for a bread or meat coupon. It was like a giant Monopoly game" ssaid Sheril cunning, who was a child in Long Beach, California, during the war. For most women, the war wasn't about getting better jobs or having fun, it was about endless worry and trying to make ends meet.
