Girl Gunners- the work of the Auxiliary Territorial Service at An Experimental Station, Shoeburyness, Essex, England, 1943
21 year old ATS Sergeant Ray Chamberlen (left) and 19 year old Private Muriel Bartels at work on a Mirror Position Finder at the Royal Artillery experimental station at Shoeburyness. The Mirror Position Finder works as follows: the operators look through the viewer watching for shell bursts in the sky. The position of these bursts are marked on the mirror and then transferred to absorbent paper in the Observation Post room. Comparison of the readings taken at several different posts allowed an accurate reading of the actual position of the shell burst.

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.
