What were evacuees?

Evacuees had to try to fit in with other children and their families so that they wouldn't feel more emotional about having to leave home. Second answer: The evacuees were primarily sent to farms and country villages. They had to learn to do farm chores and how to play safely in the country. Most of the evacuees had decent experiences but some were abused, had their ration cards stolen from them or were made fun of by the other children or the host families. Some spent hours writing to their families.
