Summary

Soldiers Working on the Land- Helping With the Harvest, UK, July 1945

Soldiers on pay parade queue up for their wages at the end of a day of working helping to bring in the harvest, somewhere in Britain. Included are a man from a Fusilier regiment, possibly the Lancashire Fusiliers, receiving his payment, and several men of the Royal Artillery. According to the original caption, "soldiers receive 1/ 6 for each day's work in addition to their Army pay".

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.
