The boys were evacuated from their homes to escape the destruction of the war, which someday they would have been forced to join. It's ironic because in the end, the isolation of the island did more damage to the boys then the war ever could.

The boys were being evacuated from a war zone, presumably to a place of safety. The irony being that they end up on the island, where one boy is in all likelyhood burned to death as a result of negligence. The majority of the boys sink to the level of savages and are actively involved in two murders and intended to commit a third.

The painted boys had just been hunting down Ralph before they discovered the soldiers. The officer who speaks to Ralph comments that they are British boys, and he is surprised they didn't fare better. Ironically, the soldiers on the boats will take the boys home, and then themselves go off to hunt other human beings, just as the boys had been doing.
