Summary
Sten Gun Production in Britain, 1943
Mrs Lushby (left) and colleagues at work in a small 'factory' producing breech blocks from steel bars. This 'factory', previously used as a hen house, was owned by Mr C W (Charles) Packard, an engineer and former haulage contractor, and was probably in Welwyn Garden City. In the foreground, rows of finished 'block pieces' can be seen, ready for the next stage of production.
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.
