  • this is really sad, the movie good night mr tom is a great example for some kids.

  • @only1gow Also, although the topic of evacuation isn't key in these films, but films like '5 children and it', 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The lion, the witch and the wardrobe' and 'Bedknobs and brooksticks' do touch on the subject at the beginning of each film.

  • Plz comment on this video as it is my first!!!

  • I have just watched some of the clips and you dont realise how bad things were then, my mum was evacuated in the war, after a bomb hit there house and killed her mother, just doing the family tree thing as well. Really something, we shoild all appreciate how lucky we are today, and always rember the people that were killed in both wars 1 and 11

  • well done for your first upload..and a good topic choice, and very touching. Sadly not all children were treated well when they were billeted out. Quite a few were treated most unkindly.

  • I Absolutely Love this one from Avril..and to put it to This upload is Very apt.

    This is One of the most devastating happenings of the War..God only knows what the Parents and the Children went through emotionally,although..Ive a good idea.

    I dont think I could have done it..God Bless them All.

    Nice Work with your 1st upload..could have done with being a bit longer just to hear the rest of the song ;)

  • awww the kids must leave their mum and dad when i was at school i was larning about this

  • Nice video. Let's not forget the children who were shipped to Canada and were killed when their ship was sunk.

  • i hate when people add music

  • my grandma was evacuated from East London to the country and luckily had a nice family. she loved it. she only returned to London because her mum died

  • kinda evil how some of the foster parents took the kids ration books or abused them. must of been fun for the others though
