Many British people were evacuated from their homes during World War II in order to escape the German bombing raids. Hundreds of thousands of child evacuees were sent from the towns and cities into the safety of the country.
British towns and cities were subjected to intense bombing in the Blitz that raged from 1940 until 1945. People endured years of wearing gas masks, constant air-raid sirens and the bombing of their homes, factories, schools and work places. Civilians spent countless hours sheltering from attacks in air-raid shelters while others helped on the streets as air-raid wardens or fire fighter.
People had to queue for food, petrol, clothing and many other household items after 1939. During the war and for some time after, the government ensured that people received equal amounts of good and other items with the creation of ration books. Shortages were eased with campaigns such as Dig for Victory and Make Do and Mend. New recipes and advice helped to make food go futher.
