Some children were killed. The government decided to ship the children to the country to keep them safe. The blitz bombs were not aimed at the countryside. Some pregnant mothers and some of the mothers of the children went with the children to the country homes of generous people. Many of the mothers had to stay in the city to work for the war effort or because they were widows and had to work to provide for their family. Some children found it to be an adventure and others found it to be a difficult experience. Many who had never seen the country, animals or farms found it fascinating. Thankfully sending them to the country saved their lives.
