Children in War

This exciting exhibition tells us what life was like for children during World War II. It is a temporary exhibition you can find in the Imperial War Museum near the Waterloo railway station. It presents objects, bags children wore when they were evacuated from London and major cities. Likewise, when Germany threatened to invade England, all children were sent to the countryside. In general, you went to your school or at least your class, to villages, where children were distributed amongst volunteer families. You can see the propaganda that incites city families to send their children, and the countryside to host them.
