Summary
Air Raid Shelter in the Basement of Dickins and Jones, Regent Street, London, England, 1940
As the public canteen in the basement shelter of Dickins and Jones department store used to be the staff restaurant, all kitchen facilities were already in place. Here we see three ladies in the process of washing up and drying the dishes, whilst a man brings another tray of cups and saucers to the kitchen for washing. This photograph was taken in November 1940.
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.
