If your family had any evacuees, it could be to research personal history.





Also, you could look at how many evacuees settled in the places they were evacuated to and how that affected local demographics post WWII, especially when taking into consideration the obvious changes in the makeup of local populations with men not returning from war.





Any good?

I presume you are a child at school and as such if you had been living in a city during ww2 you would very likely have been evacuated yourself. In all over a million children were sent away from their homes.





Try to put yourself in the same situation and imagine how you would feel, many of these children had seen their fathers go off to fight in the war and were then sent away from home by their mothers to live with strangers, often split up from their brothers and sisters.





Most of these children had never been away from home or visited the countryside and it must have seemed like going to another country. For some it was and they were sent as far away as The USA.





For many this separation went on for years with little or no contact with family and friends, no emails or mobile phones, most homes did not have a telephone. It was very much luck whether you were given to a family who wanted you or were kind, many of these children were badly treated, used as cheap labour, it must have been very lonely.





This is the history of children like you which would have been your grandparents or great grandparents.
