It certainly wasn’t evancuees.

Google; London WWII and Blitz. That should tell the story.

I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but here’s a fascinating BBC site that captures reminiscences about childhood in WWII. What a great read!

Thanks for posting this question. It’s a great distraction from politics.
