What age were the evacuees?

Answer 1

The first children were evacuated from Britain's cities and other vulnerable sites, to places of safety, in September 1939, just before war was declared. This was called Operation Pied Piper. Most went to places in the British countryside but some went as far away as Canada. They traveled by train to the countryside.

Answer 2

The evacuees were the school aged children. They were ages of between 1 to 18 years. The evacuees were sent to villages primarily.
