I knew about the Children from history and from the Narnia movies and books but didn't realize that it was common to send children to America and Canada and New Zealand and Australia to relatives during this time too. This permanently disrupted many families because often teenagers stayed there and didn't return after marrying someone there or going to college wherever they were sent over the years.

Children under 12 were sent to countryside in 1940 but teenagers were sent all over to other countries from London then
I just realized for the first time really that they sent the children under 12 out into the English countryside in 1940 but they sent teenagers by ship to New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Canada because it was thought there was a chance that they were going to lose England to Hitler when the V1 and V2 missiles were hitting London every night then.
