Evacuees to New Zealand

from The National Archives UK

  This history was almost suppressed again until recently as some were not orphans ?

• The National Archives UK said:

  In fact this is quite a different scheme. (I think you are thinking of what are commonly known as 'home children'). CORB children were sent abroad by their parents for the sole purpose of ensuring their safety during the Second World War. The overwhelming majority of these evacuees (essentially identical to those evacuated from towns and cities to rural areas in the UK) returned home to their parents towards the end of the war. You can learn more about the CORB scheme on our Your Archives website.

  Ok thanks for mentioning that as we have had some coverage of the 'home children' here in NZ .
