Shelter Photographs Taken in London by Bill Brandt, November 1940
Shelterers sleep on the benches which line the wall of this London trench shelter. The shelter had been flooded due to heavy rain and a few boards have been placed along the floor to help shelterers avoid the puddles. In the background, the First Aid cabinet can be seen.
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.
