Country School- Everyday Life at Baldock County Council School, Baldock, Hertfordshire, England, UK, 1944
Girls and boys of Baldock County Council School learn camping skills as part of the County Badge Scheme. Here we see the boys sawing wood, as the girls busy themselves in the background with the washing up. Their tent can be seen behind them as they work. According to the original caption, camping and orienteering exercises develop "resourcefulness and self reliance".
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.
