The Billeting officer's job was the same then as it is now: to organize lodging for troops, whether it is overseeing the building of barracks, assigning rooms and/or bunks of existing facilities to soldiers as they arive, or to secure lodging off-base such as hotel's, motels, or other spaces to rent. Basically his job is to do whatever is necessary to make sure soldiers have a secure place to sleep.

It was someone who got evacuee(s) off the train then went round the houses asking the home owners to take in an evacuee(s) and if they wanted a boy or girl (if they accepted)

In wartime (ex. First World War), a billeting officer is someone who, ahead of troops returning from their stretch of time in the trenches, was in charge of finding accomodations for the soldiers. This may take the form of an old barn behind the lines or, as in the Second World War, empty homes or even homes in occupied territories, as for officers
