Evacuations of civilians in Britain during World War II was designed to save

Evacuations of civilians in Britain during World War II was designed to save the population of urban or military areas from German aerial bombing of cities and military targets such as docks. Children, were moved to rural areas thought to be less at risk. Operation Pied Piper started on the 1st September and went on to the 3rd September 1939. More than 1.5 million people were evacuated. Further waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation occurred from the south and east coast in June 1940, when a seaborne invasion was expected, and from affected cities after the Blitz began in September 1940 Our picture shows: It becomes all to much for one school child waiting for the coaches to evacuate his school to the country. 3rd September 1939
