Alfred Miraglia (from New York) and Corporal John R Jones (from Longmont, Colorado) look on as Betty and Roger Edmonds (children of the ex-Mayor of Winchester) show off their pet tortoise. The GIs have been taking tea with the family in the sunny garden of their home in Winchester. The original caption states that the Edmonds' children, Roger and Betty, were invited to the US as guests of the Mayor of Winchester, Virginia, and received the later part of their education there.
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.
