ABSTRACT
Evacuation had to be. In a misguided attempt to lessen the evils inherent in exile, many have tried. to make out that evacuation is actually a good thing, something sensible, which it takes a war to bring into effect. But to me evacuation is a story of tragedies; either the children are emotionally disturbed, perhaps more than they can recover from, or else the children are happy and it is the parents who suffer, the implication being that they are not needed even by their own children. For me, the only success the scheme can claim is that it could fail.
