Evacuation to Pembrokeshire during the Second World War

The following study examines the experience and affect of the evacuation of civilians to Pembrokeshire during the Second World War from Britain's urban centres. The study is based upon the examination of existing local and central government documents relating to the evacuation, local and national contemporary news reports on the same and the oral and written testimonies of evacuees, foster parents and contemporary observers. The experience of Pembrokeshire is compared with that of other regions of Britain using a variety of secondary sources and is placed in its economic, cultural and war time context. The study attempts to draw some conclusion on the impact of a didactic central government policy upon a predominantly agricultural society disrupted by the turmoil and bureaucracy of war.
