Luxembourgers in England- Evacuees in Surrey, 1942
Five year old Andrew and his three year old sister Jacqueline say Grace before a meal at the house in which they are staying in Surrey. According to the original caption, when they sit down to eat they "always remember their grandparents still in Luxembourg, Food is scarce in Luxembourg now".

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.
