What is the name of children who were evacuated from cities in WW2 (not 'evancuees'!)

Hmm good question.

It certainly wasn’t evancuees.

Google; London WWII and Blitz. That should tell the story.

I’ve been looking on google and can’t find the word I’m thinking of, help!

Vaccies

I’ve heard the term War Orphans used.

thanks for the responses guys :)

it’s another word i’m thinking of, but am getting worried there isn’t even another word

Refugees?

Displaced children?

Hmmm…

Operation Pied Piper

or

Kindertransport

???

I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but here’s a fascinating BBC site that captures reminiscences about childhood in WWII. What a great read!

Thanks for posting this question. It’s a great distraction from politics.
