Summary

General Scrap- Salvage in Wartime Britain, 1943

Three members of the Youth Service help Mrs Holland and Mrs Hadley (just visible behind Mrs Holland) to empty a bone bin into a sack in Newport, Shropshire. The contents of the sack will then be taken to local collecting dump. The salvage vehicle can be seen behind them on the tree-lined street.

The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
