A billeting officer in ww2 was someone who took the evacuee's) off the train and went round asking people if they would accept the child
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

Billeting means to lodge soldiers at a non-millitary facility. The troop is billeting at that hotel.

first answer: The billeting officer sorted out were the evacuees go. Evacuees got sent to the country side, before they were killed in world war 2. Most children were scared of the billeting officer as they did shout. More correct answer: A military Billeting officer is responsible for finding military service members & their families places to live, either on the military base or on the outside. He assigns quarters (places to live) based on military rank & seniority. Also their is a set of quarters assigned to military members that are in the area temporarily (days, weeks, months), vs the quarters used for permanent (year or more)assignments. The Billeting Officer will also work with home/apartment/hotel owners to contract for rooms or houses that can be leased out to military members or the military.
