Handicapped children in 1939

[juliacornwal]

Can anyone tell me, please, what was the procedure for the evacuation of mentally and physically handicapped children in September 1939? Surely they weren't simply abandoned as being too difficult to move?

Hi Julia,
Yours is a very good question, and one of particular interest to me, this site was about the best that I could find that covered it, mainly the first chapter, very interesting, hope you find it so too.
