Firemen of the NFS hard at work on war industry in their fire station, somewhere in London. The men are assembling air lines for military vehicles as their fire engine stands ready in the background. In the foreground is Fireman Leonard George Croxson, who is working a cleating press. Before the war he was a mosaic and tile fixer. He has a bandaged arm as he has just given blood at the local blood bank.

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.
