Children's Overseas Reception Board
« on: Sunday 11 February 24 17:38 GMT (UK) »
Between July and September 1940 children from various areas were sent overseas for safety. Amongst these were 353 children sent to South Africa.  I have managed to find the names of 345 who sailed on the SS Llanstephan.

It is believed that not all of the children returned to England, but rather stayed behind to start a new life in South Africa.

Would love to know whether anyone had a relative who came out with CORB but then chose to remain in South Africa.
Many thanks.
