Description: | World War. During the war, many children, the younger ones along with their mothers, were evacuated from London due to the risk of air raids. Evacuation was normally by train, and frequently involved entire schools, including teaching staff. Evacuees were sent to areas deemed less at risk from air attack, normally rural districts. Following the perceived reduction in the threat of German air raids, many evacuees returned to London in the months following the D-Day landings in Northern France. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | c1944 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
