Summary
Birth of a Gun- the Production of a 25 Pounder Field Gun, 1942
Men at work in the production of a 25 pounder gun at a factory, somewhere in Britain. Once the steel ingot is the right temperature, it is seized by a gang of workers and swung into position under a drop hammer. Four men hold a long pole at the end of which is the ingot, whilst another worker lifts the sliding gate which separates off the furnace from the rest of the workshop.
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.
