They probably hadn't had time to get anything organized so early in the war. We were the middle one in a terrace of five houses, and each of the five took one boy. Maybe it was the same situation, a bus coming round. I don't know if they were similar ages or from the same class but if they were it would be easier for the boys.

Our evacuee came back to visit several years after the war. We'd moved two streets away by then but he found us. Other than that, I don't think he and my parents kept in touch.

Thanks for responding, it's interesting to get a bit more information.
