Summary

Repatriation of Polish Troops From Britain To Poland, 1945-1948
A scene at Tilbury docks: on the dockside, the Guards band entertains the thousands of Polish troops on board the SS BANFORA, moored alongside, as they wait to depart from England. Many of them would face prosecution at the hands of communist regime for serving alongside the Western Allies.

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.
