Summary
British Canals in Wartime- Transport in Britain, 1944
Waterman Bill Lord clears out a feeder stream of the Grand Union Canal. The original caption explains that there are special catchment areas along the canal to maintain water levels, which are affected by boats ascending and descending locks: "Each pair of boats going up or down uses one lock of water (5,600 gallons)".
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.
