520 $aIn June 1940, Britain expected enemy invasion. Despite Churchill's determination to fight 'on the beaches', many parents made desperate efforts to send their families abroad to safety. Nearly half the nation's children were on a waiting list for overseas evacuation and thousands of others had already left for America, Canada, Australia and other distant countries when, on 17 September 1940, the SS City of Benares was torpedoed mid-Atlantic with the loss of 255 passengers, including 84 child evacuees. The great exodus ceased but those already in safety had to spend several years far away from everyone and everything they knew.
