Summary

Italian Prisoners of War in Britain- Everyday Life at An Italian Pow Camp, England, UK, 1945
A general view of men eating in the refectory at the N.144 Italian workers camp near London. According to the original caption "at the camp there is a single refectory in which the 2000 collaborators eat in two relays. Here they eat their breakfast in the morning, before going to work, and the evening meal. At midday the workers squadrons take the uncooked food with them and prepare it at the place of work".

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.
