Summary

Guy's Hospital- Life in a London Hospital, England, 1941

This photograph shows (on the right) a copy of the MPC 47 document, which is completed for every casualty arriving at Guy's Hospital, alongside (on the left of the photograph) the tally sheet made by the 'tally man', listing the numbers of all casualties that have arrived. The MPC 47 document records the casualty number, the number of the ambulance that brought the casualty in, and other personal information. This document accompanies patients around the hospital, and all further care is based on the contents of this document. The tally sheet states that all casualties on this 'watch' have come in by ambulance or on foot from the Bermondsey Park Road area, suggesting an incident, such as an air raid, may have occurred.

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.
