War Comes To School- Life at Peckham Central School, London, England, 1943
A group of pupils at Peckham Central School listen as their teacher Mrs Roberts (centre) explains something about the stove during a Domestic Science class. They are in a kitchen setting, and Mrs Roberts has placed several pans on top of each other, using the steam to cook or warm the contents of the upper pans, in the interests of fuel economy. According to the original caption, all the girls at this school are trained in 'Housecraft', cookery and childcare.
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.
