MacKenzie himself has denied that he is a racist. This from a man who once, following a concessionary speech by South Africa's President P.W. Botha, remarked: 'Well, Botha has said the days of white power are over in South Africa. What he doesn't say is what's going to happen when the darkies come down from the trees.'

""Thousands homeless; thousands of builders on the dole. It makes no sense." Sharon Morgan puts people first. Sharon Morgan works in a housing action area in the London Borough of Haringey. She is in the front line of a national housing crisis. She knows all about the effect of public spending cuts. "When I started this job fours years ago, I helped homeless people settle into freshly modernised council flats and houses. Now we usually have to give them lists of accommodation agencies, the addresses of hostels for the homeless, and sympathy. People visit us a few times, and we make what suggestions we can, but then they stop coming. We never know what happens to them." In a civilised society housing must be a top priority. That means we have a responsibility to see that everyone is decently housed. Sadly that is not so in Britain today. And by 1986 it is estimated there will be a shortage of over half a million dwellings. In the past three years public expenditure on housing has been halved. Last year it was down to 41% of what it was five years earlier. As a consequence the number of houses and flats being built by local councils and housing associations dropped from 117,000 a years to 31,000. Renovation and replacement are not keeping pace with dilapidation. Slum clearance is now so slow that at current rates houses will have to stand 800 years before they are demolished.

AB 5

"Keep their hands off our public services. Electricity, gas, water, drainage and sewerage tend to be taken for granted. By flicking a switch, turning a tap or pulling a chain we have the essential services of an advanced society. It is hard to imagine life without them. For a great many years these have all been public services. that is not a matter of chance. Local authorities first took charge of them either because private enterprise could not run them efficiently, or lacked the necessary investment, or because that was the only way to protect public health and safety. These have been supreme examples of public enterprise, setting the highest standards of innovation and achievement. Nationalisation of electricity and gas, and the creation of water authorities in England and Wales, simply took the process a stage farther. These are industries that have quite properly been owned by the public, controlled by public scrutiny and run solely in the public interest. Safe, reliable and reasonably priced. These were the characteristics of our public utilities - electricity, gas and water - until the politicians and economists got their ideological heads together and said things had to change. With "free market competition" the watchword, the Government is now seeking to turn these industries inside out. "Privatisation" is the rallying cry; private profit has become the prime consideration; the public and consumer interest is of secondary importance..."

Europe. Free-for-all or fair for all? In 1992, a lot of people stand to make a lot out of Europe. At the TUC, we believe you should be one of them. No matter where you work, or who you work for. We believe that 1992 could bring more jobs with more security, a cleaner environment, better training, better working conditions, plus better rights for women. But of course this will only happen if there's a majority at the European Parliament to fight for these priorities. One crucial way of securing this is to vote at the European elections on Thursday June 15th. We put your interests first. When it comes to voting, so should you. Making a better job of Europe.'

AB 7

Put a cross in the wrong place and you can kiss employee rights goodbye. In the last few years, job insecurity has mushroomed in Britain. The reasons are obvious. Independent surveys show that people are working harder for longer. Over 8 out of 10 new jobs are either part-time or short-term. At the same time, rights at work and legal protections have been cut back. Good employers know this is bad: for their companies, the economy and the country as a whole. They understand that investment in people pays for itself in higher skills, higher motivation, and higher productivity. Yet some politicians refuse to see it. They believe British employees should have even fewer rights. Who decides? You do. Whoever you vote for, make sure employees win.

1996? TUC Has a black and white photograph of someone putting a cross on an election ballot form. The rest of the poster is white. The text is white and black.

Don't suffer in silence! The TUC's Campaign to Stamp Out Upper Limb Disorder at Work. What to do if you get RSI! The symptoms of upper limb disorders (RSI) include: numbness or tingling in the arm or hand; aches and pain in the muscles or at the joints (especially when the limb is raised, or used for some time); loss of strength and grip in the hand; occasionally, loss of sensation and even whiteness in the finger; or crackling in the joints or muscles. In some cases, there may be a cyst-like swelling near a joint, or a tender swelling in the affected area. These symptoms are very similar to the aches and pains of every day - especially after physical effort. But those aches die away after a day or so. The signs to watch out for are pains that linger, or come on even when you have not exercised. Report your symptoms. The first thing you should do is to let people know about your symptoms, especially if you think they have been caused or made worse by work. Tell your union or workplace safety rep, so that they can advise you and help you get your work changed. Ask to put your condition in the workplace accident book.'

Don't suffer in silence! The TUC's Campaign to Stamp Out Upper Limb Disorder at Work. The TUC's Campaign Against RSI. Over 200,000 workers suffer from upper limb disorders (often known as RSI) every year. The number of working days lost through these conditions has doubled in the last five years. That's why trade unions are campaigning for a better deal for working people. We are calling for: fairer compensation from the social security system for sufferers; better treatment for sufferers from GPs and specialists; fewer risks at work, and stronger safeguards against excessive work rates; greater protection for sufferers' jobs; and more research into causes and cures. We want people to STOP suffering in silence. Upper limb disorders can be prevented.

AD2 7

Don't suffer in silence! The TUC's Campaign to Stamp Out Upper Limb Disorder at Work. Women at risk! Women are particularly at risk of developing work-related upper limb disorders. Women often do the jobs where the risks are highest - simple and repetitive tasks, often on long shifts or on bonuses for fast working. And women are often more likely to be "put upon" by their supervisors, and can rarely rest when work ends because of household chores. Finally, women are often not treated properly, because doctors mistake their symptoms for other conditions (like the menopause), or because they are simply ignored by employers or "experts". If it happens to you, Don't Suffer in Silence! Be like these women, who got their unions behind them and fought back: Pauline Burnard (BIFU) "When I called in the union, they got me the desk I needed, but by then it was too late. Don't let people fob you off just because you are a woman."; Wendy Lawrence (GMB) "It's very demoralising. But you just have to go again and again, and don't let the depression get to you!"; Rachel Phillips (unison) "Most of the people I've come up against were men who treated me like an idiot - I'm made to feel a fraud unless I'm wearing my splints. My GP told me to join a union - it was the most usefully advice she gave me!".'

Safety. The first cut was the health and safety inspector. The second was the operator's fingers. TUC Working for Health and Safety. The Health and Safety system in Britain is under attack. In 1979 there were 1,242 HSE inspectors. Today there are 180 fewer. The result? The average workplace will now only be visited by an inspector once every eight years. The only time an inspector will see some workplaces is following an accident or complaint. How many more workers will suffer as a result of these cuts? Don't wait for the next accident. You could be the victim. Now is the time to take action. Action checklist: Raise the issue of HSE cuts in your workplace committee or trade union branch; Find out when an HSE inspector last visited your place of work; If it was a long time ago write, via your MP, to the Secretary of State for Employment and complain; Send copies of the letter to local TV, press or radio; Arm yourself with the full facts about the cuts that kill by sending for copies of the TUC Campaign Report and Action Brief available from Publications Department, TUC, Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3LS, price 30p and 40p respectively (prices include postage).'

"Dust. Are you at risk? Dust has killed more people than any other workplace hazard. It shortened thousands of workers' lives and caused untold misery to many more. Some of the most dangerous kinds of dust are asbestos, silica, lead, cotton dust, radioactive dust, flour and wood dust. All can cause serious diseases including: emphysema, bronchitis, lung and stomach cancer, liver and kidney damage and skin and eye diseases. Many of these conditions are slow to develop but health damage is often irreversible. The biggest threat comes from 'superfine' dust particles which cannot be seen but which penetrate deep into workers' lungs. You can help reduce the risks from dust at your workplace by making sure dust hazards are identified and controlled. If you think YOU have a dust problem, inform your trade union safety representative. Action checklist. Find out if you or your fellow trade union members are working with dusty materials and what the hazards are. Do a simple survey, look for any signs of ill health amongst your members which may have been caused by dust in the workplace. Ask your employer (or if that fails, the Health and Safety Executive) to measure dust levels and compare the results with recommended exposure limits. Persuade your employer, with the help of expert advice, to adopt the following dust control measures: enclosing the process; installing exhaust ventilation; and, if these steps fail, providing approved dust respirators.

"Hazards. Raise them with your safety representative. The law entitles recognised trade unions to appoint workplace safety representatives. They have the following legal rights: The right to raise members health, safety and welfare problems with management. The right to be consulted about health and safety issues. The right to carry out regular inspections and investigate accidents, hazards and cases of occupational disease. The right to receive facilities, assistance and information from their employer to help them do their job. The right to time off with pay to go on a TUC (or union approved) training course. The right to require a joint Safety Committee to be set up. If you have a health, safety or welfare problem see your Safety Representative today. If you do not have a safety representative, discuss the matter with other union members and seek advice from your union.

"Help to mend some lives. "In one way or another everyone has been affected by the long drawn-out coal-mining dispute. The whole nation should now share in the process of healing needed to restore damaged human relationships and the prosperity of the industry. No one should doubt the burden of hardship remaining in the coal-mining communities. There are unpaid bills, savings are gone and in some places so is the furniture. A contribution now to the TUC Miners' Hardship Fund can help in this necessary work of healing." Most Rev Derek Worlock, Archbishop of Liverpool. "The strike of the miners has ended. But the needs of miners, and their wives and children, remain great. In the mining communities themselves the great need is to give sustenance and succour -- to restore confidence and give dignity to hard pressed families. I appeal to all people of goodwill to give quickly and generously to the TUC Miners' Hardship Fund." George Lowthian, Former General Secretary of a Building Trades Union. "The hardship Fund is about need. It is not about merit or blame; it is not about reward or revenge. Quite simply it would be wrong to let hardship prevail. Your gifts are needed to create community once again and to build on the splendid mutual aid which testing times achieved. They will help to nourish friendship, to reconcile those who are at enmity and to strengthen those human bonds without which no village or town can live... Nor our country."

"The case for sanctions according to P.W. Botha. Opponents of economic sanctions say that they will have no real effect on the South African government. P.W. Botha has said as much himself. But when it comes to dealing with governments of which he does not approve, Mr Botha has taken a quite different view. In the case of Lesotho, for example, he imposed sanctions that amounted to a total blockade. And he didn't lift them until the government had been overthrown and replaced by a military ruler he found more acceptable. Ironically, one of the ways the previous government had upset Mr Botha was by supporting the idea of sanctions against South Africa. At various other times the South African government has exerted economic pressure or imposed punitive sanctions on Mozambique, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi. Nevertheless, Mr Botha still insists that sanctions against South Africa will not work. He says they will only bring hardship to the black people they are intended to help. (A view that has been echoed by the opponents of sanctions here in the UK). But black South Africans have repeatedly said that they are willing to endure the consequences of sanctions. Because, unlike the hardships endured every day under Mr Botha's regime, sanctions offer hope. They also offer the only real alternative to a downward slide into civil war. As time runs out, the few remaining opponents of sanctions may find it instructive to examine

"The South African Government would rather the world forgot these names. Many hundreds of trade unionists are among the thousands of people detained by the South African authorities. Despite the efforts of the South African Government to prevent the world finding out what's happening, over 100 names have already reached this country. More people are being arrested every day. They have not been charged with any crime. They have been denied access to lawyers. And their families have no information concerning their whereabouts. With the situation in South Africa continuing to deteriorate, there is now genuine concern for their safety. Which is why we are publishing their names. Because the more people that know about them, the less likely they are simply to disappear. You can help by urging your local MP to press for their release. You don't have to be a trade unionist to be concerned about the imprisonment of innocent people. This advertisement is placed by the Trades Union Congress in association with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, which represents 144 organisations with a total membership of approximately 80 Million in 92 countries.

AD4 10

Do you realise you're contributing about 50p a week? South Africa earns around £990 million a year from exports to Britain. That's around 50p a week for every adult in Britain. This money acts as both practical and moral support to the system of Apartheid. You contribute as an individual whenever you buy South African produce (like Cape or Outspan fruit). And if your company pension scheme has shares in South African companies, it's also investing in the future of Apartheid. The Government won't stop trade with South Africa, but you can. Here's how. Don't buy South African goods. Ask stores that still stock them to find alternatives and support them when they do. Press your company to sever any links with South Africa. And raise the issue of sanctions with your MP. Finally you can help us to get this message across to more people by sending donations to the TUC South Africa Campaign Fund. Apartheid is an indefensible evil. Don't buy it time.'

One of the hardest things in the world is to stand tall, to shoulder one's own burden. One of the easiest is to succumb to the temptation of believing that a state - that imaginary mother figure of our age - will be able to provide, to protect us from harsh reality, to shoulder our burdens.' Margaret Thatcher, September 1983. In April 1984 Norman Fowler, Secretary of State for Social Services, announced the 'most substantial examination of the social security system since the Beveridge Report". This is not a sudden change of heart. While there is a need for a comprehensive review of social security, Fowler's

"Some newspapers delight in headline exposes of social security "scroungers", and suggest that every person who has to claim social security should be regarded with suspicion. Meanwhile they never mention the £800 million of unclaimed benefit which people are entitled to. What do people dependent on benefits have to live on after paying their housing costs? Supplementary Benefit (ordinary rate) - single person £28.05, married couple £45.55. Sickness Benefit - single person £27.25, married couple £44.05. Invalidity Pension - single person £34.25, married couple £54.80. Child Benefit - each child £6.85, first child of single parent £4.25. While claimants have to live on these levels of income, government hand-outs to the rich have increased enormously. A single person earning five times the average now pays 14% less tax than in 1978. Someone earning ten times the average pays 22% less. Far from being a leading "welfare state", Britain lags behind most countries in Europe. Social protection expenditure as a percentage of GDP (1981) - Netherlands 31.4%, Belgium 30.0%, Denmark 29.9%, West Germany 29.4%, Luxembourg 27.9%, France 27.5%, Italy 25.3%, Britain 23.5%, Ireland 22.9%, Source EEC. Percentage increase 1970-1980 in purchasing power of social protection expenditure - Ireland +114%, Luxembourg +95%, Belgium +94%, Netherlands +93%, France +79%, West Germany +74%, Italy +74%, Denmark +70%, Britain +64%, source EEC.


Has a black and photograph of a number of formally dressed men and women stood with a police constable by the side of the road. On the right hand side of the photograph there are two men stood in overalls with their arms crossed. The photograph is credited to Format / Sheila Gray. There is a reproduction of a front page from the Sunday Mail. The front page article is regarding a 'blitz' on unemployed young people. The background of the poster is green and black and the text is white and black. There are black Velcro tabs on the back of the poster.

"On the same side. Particularly under Mrs Thatcher, the government has tried to divide workers in the DHSS from the claimants and the public they serve. DHSS workers are under increasing pressure, with staff cuts and a rising number of claims to deal with. Claimants are led to think that delays and other problems they face in getting benefits are the result of carelessness and disregard for their needs by DHSS workers. The government's emphasis on fraud squads rather than concentrating on the £800 million of unclaimed benefit each year has helped encourage these myths. The facts are different. Both workers and claimants are victims of a government that feels that caring for the welfare of its citizens means having Cruise and Trident rather than financing social security properly. The DHSS trade unions and the claimants' organisations have been working together against the government attacks on social security, trying to extend and better the system rather than see it cut back. In autumn 1982 DHSS workers in Birmingham struck for 17 weeks demanding an increase in the number of staff to deal with claims. On December 3rd 1982 27,000 DHSS staff went on strike to back the demand. In Newcastle SCPS and CPSA members have supported a local campaign against snooping on claimants. Similar action has taken place in Edinburgh and Kirkaldy. The labour movement as a whole now needs to join with them to actively defend the social security benefits that exist,


Has 2 black and white photographs of: a DHSS office with 6 people working; and Birmingham DHSS staff, on a march, with placards and banners (newspaper headlines have been added to the background of the photograph).

"For everyone's benefit. The social security system covers many different types of payment, and practically every person in Britain is entitled to claim at some time in their lives. Child Benefit - A tax free benefit is paid to the mother for every child in the family. Unemployment Benefit - First established under the Liberal government in 1911, the system of National Insurance and Unemployment Benefit was vastly expanded under Labour in 1946, and now covers all workers. Supplementary Benefit - Needs not covered by insurance benefits are now met by Supplementary Benefits, both as weekly income and one off single payments for special needs. Family Income Supplement - FIS is a means tested payment to families with children where the wage earner is on a very low income. Sickness Benefit - Developed and expanded throughout the century, sickness benefit ensures that those unable to work through illness or injury are able to maintain an adequate standard of living while sick and off work. Invalidity benefit is payable to those who are sick for more than six months. Maternity Benefit - Maternity Allowance is paid by the state for the period immediately before and after confinement. A one off maternity grant payment is also made. Disability Benefits - A variety of disability payments cover the various special needs of those unable to work through permanent sickness or disability. Housing Benefit - Housing Benefit has replaced


The poster has 9 black and white 'cartoon' illustrations for each of the benefits: a girl with a backpack going into a school playground; a person at a desk applying for Unemployment Benefit; a woman and three children, one in a pushchair, going past a shop; a man in a hospital bed with a drip in his arm; a doctor and a nurse holding a baby at the end of a hospital bed with a woman lying in it; a person in a wheelchair, seen from behind, travelling at great speed ; a person looking out of an open window of a house; an elderly lady sitting in an armchair warming her hands before a roaring fire; and a grave with a headstone. The background of the poster is green and black. The text is white and black. The cartoons are credited to John Shelley. The poster has black Velcro tabs attached to the back of it.

"From the cradle to the grave. A fundamental demand of the working people has always been that the government takes proper responsibility for ensuring that no one suffers economic hardship or social degradation when through no fault of their own they cannot work, or their earnings are insufficient to meet the needs of themselves and their families. After the appalling workhouse system of the Nineteenth Century the Liberal Government of 1906-1914 started to take some steps to bring about a 'welfare state'. Only after the 1930's depression did a serious investigation into the need for welfare services take place. In 1942 a government report by Sir William Beveridge led to the creation of a full national insurance scheme. Beveridge argued that social security to meet specific contingencies should be available to everyone from the cradle to the grave. The proposals made in the Beveridge Report have never been fully developed. There has never been a recognition of changes that need to be made to meet present day needs within, for example, millions faced with long term unemployment. Social Security should be related to the standard of living enjoyed by people who are working: ‘…it is not sufficient to assess poverty by absolute standards. Nowadays it must be judged by comparison with the standard of living of other groups in the community… Beneficiaries must have an income which enables them to participate in the life of the community.’ Supplementary Benefits Commission, Annual


The poster has 4 black and white photographs illustrating the text: A picture of men sleeping in wooden beds in a workhouse (credited to the Trades Union Congress Library); Men, women and children in a room with food being cooked and served (credited to Format/Brenda Prince); A man standing at the counter of a labour exchange or benefits office (credited to Trades Union Congress Library); Women marching along a road with a banner that reads ' Women's Contingent Marching to London Against the Means Test' (credited to Trades Union Congress Library).

Dear Sir, We the Members and Friends of the Agricultural Labourers Union are desirous of testifying to the esteem and regard in which you are held by us as one of the early Martyrs to the cause of Unionism. We are glad of the opportunity which this day affords us, being the forty first anniversary of your most unjust and cruel conviction at the Dorchester Assizes, of offering you some small token of the appreciation that we feel for the efforts that you then made towards improving the condition of your starving fellow creatures and of our disgust at the sufferings that you and your comrades had in consequence to indure. Many of us are your neighbours and are desirous of joining in this address in testimony to the upright life that you have led during the many years which have elapsed since your return to your country, whilst others who are now fighting the battle of humanity and righteous combination in different parts of the kingdom unite to do honour to one who was called upon to endure experiences so painful when contending for the self same principles. We congratulate you on having lived to see the day when thousands of your fellow labourers in Dorsetshire and hundreds of thousands throughout England are united together to resist oppression and to obtain their just rights in societies identical for all practical purposes with that you in vain tried to establish forty years ago at Tolpuddle. We know full well in this country that the days of oppression are not yet over

CAPITAL (Campaign to Protect and Improve Transport in London / Capital Transport Campaign)

The poster has a black and white cartoon of a man dressed in a suit with a bowler hat and umbrella over his arm, in the style of a traditionally dressed English City of London worker. He has a bus under one arm and a sack on his back with buses and rails sticking out from the top. The background of the poster is white and black and the text is black and white. There is a picture in the top right hand corner of a London Transport roundel which is being smashed with a hammer. The poster was possibly produced in response to the London Regional Transport Act which was passed in 1984 or to the sell off of London Buses in 1992. The Capital Transport Campaign was set up in 1983, with the aim to campaign for safe, affordable and adequately funded public transport in London, speaking out on behalf of passengers, and monitoring and reporting on issues such as fare levels, crowding on the Underground, bus services and staffing problems. It had funding and grants from the GLC (Greater London Council) until the GLC was abolished in 1986. It ceased to exist in January 2006. One of the posters has brown parcel tape stuck on the back.

MD4 2 "Hands off rail workshops." 1980's? ?

The poster has a white background and red lines at the top and bottom and the text is red. Printed by CWS Printers, Pelaw.

This poster might relate to the deregulation of transport during the 1980's and specifically the campaign to protect local transport in Tyne and Wear.

"This could be your last free pass. The Government's Transport Bill is now being considered by Parliament. It proposes to maintain concessionary travel, BUT - The Government is reducing the amount of money available so there is no guarantee the Local Authorities will be able to afford to give you your free pass. Competition between buses and Metro will mean that many evening, Sunday suburban and rural services will be cut, so even if you have a pass you might not be able to use it. Competing operators will all need to be paid by the Authorities for the free travel on their vehicles and the only way that could work to everyone's satisfaction is with tokens - and even then it wouldn't work on Metro. The trouble with that is that once you've spent your allocation you'll have to pay full fare. The Government is not letting it happen in London and it doesn't have to happen here - if you are prepared to do something about it. Write to the Secretary of State for Transport and your M.P. - now.

"Pensioners housebound. The 189,000 pensioners in Tyne and Wear make 63 million bus and Metro trips every year. If the Government's Transport Bill becomes law there will be big cuts in evening and Sunday services, suburban and rural services - the very buses that thousands of elderly people rely on to visit the family, get to the shops, and generally get out and about. Most of us could easily walk a fair distance to another bus which might still be running - but could granny? She would probably have no choice but to stay at home. The Government says it will retain concessionary fares, but they won't be much use if the bus is out of reach.

"Are we really two nations? You might think so if you have read the Government's Transport Bill. Of course, the Government thinks it will make an improvement. Not surprising, when in the South East, people use buses 5 times less often than we do. There, buses get less cash backing so services run less often and fares are much higher. In Tyne and Wear more than half of us depend on public transport. In over 8 out of 10 homes, public transport is a necessity. And with the lowest car ownership in England it's hardly surprising that 70% of us use local buses or Metro at least once a week. If the Government's proposals go ahead here, many bus services will be cut and fares will rocket on many routes. The future for travelcards and transfers is also bleak and the Newcastle trains might have to be cut too. The Government is not letting it happen in London and it doesn't have to happen here - if you are prepared to do something about it. Write to The Secretary of State for Transport and your M.P. - Now.

"Good-Bye Go Buy Travelcard. The Government's Transport Bill is now being considered by Parliament. It could be law this summer and effective from October, 1986. The intention is that buses will compete with Metro - and with each other. Each operator will want to keep his own passengers and his own revenue. He will set his fares to make a profit and beat off the competition so fares will vary service by service - operator by operator - and that will be the end of travelcards.

"The Tass guide to what they say. Number one. The employer with the low paying record says "You might think you're doing broadly the same work as him. I don't!" "Women doing broadly the same work as men should be paid the same." So says the Equal Pay Act. But saying is one thing, paying is another. Employers have had years to regrade, reclassify and recognise jobs to avoid this. And if your boss says no, where does that leave you? You could start a legal battle. Difficult, uncertain and possibly expensive for a woman alone. Or you can join TASS. We are the union for all staff in engineering. Our women's membership is growing faster than any other staff union. Our policy is simple. Men's Pay for Women. And we don't just say that, we make it work.

"Britain after three years at war. Great Britain's Man Power... Britons Pay Heavily For The War... Increase in British War Production... Restriction of Civilian Supplies... Rationing in Britain Today... Bombs on Great Britain... This pictorial chart gives just a slight idea of the three years of fighting and sacrifice which the people of Britain have dedicated towards smashing the Axis. It would be impossible to show every restriction that Britain has submitted to gladly and willingly during these first three years of war. To show how even the limited supplies of food available are not always obtainable by the public, how unrationed foods are frequently so scarce that few people can obtain them at all, how furniture and household linen, pots and pans are practically unobtainable. But as civilian supplies of food, clothing and fuel grow smaller, Britain's war effort grows larger. Savings campaigns exist in every village, the sale of certificates and war bonds is ever on the increase, interest-free loans are made to the government. Every factory is working at top speed, twenty-four hours a day turning out an ever-increasing number of tanks, aircraft and munitions with which to deal the death blow to Hitler and his Axis partners. The British can laugh at shortages and rationing because they know that by doing so they are contributing to society. "Ministry of Information in March 1943

British honey production: No 4. Preparing the hives for the winter rest. The hives should face south-east or south so as to get the early morning sunshine and they should be shaded from the blazing midday sun and placed near trees or shrubs. These act as a wind-break and protect the bees from any inclemency of the weather. Picture 1 shows a typical British apiary. Bees need drinking water and, at the height of the breeding season, a colony will drink about one pint of water a day. The water must be fresh, but if no running water is near the hive a bowl of wet sand, as seen in picture 2, will serve the purpose. Picture 3 shows four types of winter feeders used in British hives. Each hive needs about 60lb of food for the winter, so the bee-keeper leaves some of the honey collected in the summer and makes up the balance with sugar syrup. In picture 4 a comb is seen being taken from a honey extractor -- the honey should be strained before being put into jars. One-pound jars of honey are shown in picture 5. An average hive will produce from 40 to 50 lb of surplus honey in a year, while a good hive, well kept, can produce over 100lb. of surplus honey. In England and Wales £1,250,000-worth of honey is produced for sale in a year." For Freedom poster series.

British honey production: No 3. Examining the hive & fitting a "queen excluder." In pictures 1 and 2 the bee-keepers are fitting a "queen excluder" in a hive. This is very important, as it prevents the queen from going to top of the hive and laying her eggs in honey combs. The vents in the "excluder" are large enough for the worker bees to pass through, but too small for the queen -- (See Poster No. 1 in this series for comparison in size of the bees). The queen is therefore compelled to stay in the brood chambers, laying her eggs , while the worker bees pass up to the "supers" to deposit their collection of honey. Picture 3 shows the bee-keepers examining a comb taken from the brood chamber. In picture 4 the top of the hive is shown covered with a sheet of glass, over which is being placed a piece of felt. In this way the bee-keeper can examine the hive without disturbing the bees. Cleanliness is essential to the health and well-being of the bees, and in picture 5 the bee-keepers are seen washing their hands, and also the "smoker", in a disinfectant as a precaution against carrying disease from one hive to another. Because of the important help which bees give to the British farmers by pollinating over £4,000,000-worth of fruit a year, in addition to supplying honey, colonies of bees are valued at about £12 each."

"British honey production: No 2. Assembling a new hive. A completed hive which contains a very prolific queen -- the hive has two brood chambers and three honey chambers, or 'supers' -- is shown in picture 1. Pictures 2 and 5 show how the foundations are laid and the hive assembled. The base of the hive should be raised above ground level to prevent rotting and to keep vermin from entering the hive. The brood chamber is fitted over the floorboard, and over the brood chamber the honey chamber, or 'super', is fitted. The roof is then affixed. Picture 3 shows a 'swarm' being taken from a skep hive into a new or clean wooden hive. Picture 4 shows a double-walled type of hive. The space between the inner and outer walls provides additional ventilation and insulation against extreme heat and cold. Canadian red cedar wood should be used for hives as this wood is extremely durable under all weather conditions. In England and Wales there are some 500,000 colonies of bees, and each colony contains from 20,000 to 60,000 bees. Over £4,000,000-worth of fruit is pollinated every year in England and Wales alone -- hence the value of bee-keeping to the British farmer." For Freedom poster series.

"British honey production: No 1. Opening the hive after the winter. In picture 1 bee-keepers are seen opening a hive for the purpose of spring cleaning. The zinc strip affixed to the hive entrance, which protected the hive from vermin during the winter, is now removed. In picture 5 a keeper is cleaning from the floorboard the wax cappings from the combs that the bees have dropped during the winter. The three types of bees are seen in picture 2, while in picture 3 the queen bee (in white ring) is seen laying her eggs in a brood comb, with worker bees feeding the larvae. Picture 4 shows a completed frame ready to be put into the hive; this foundation saves the bees considerable time and labour, for the basis of the comb is already made for them. Bee-keeping is an acknowledged and essential part of Great Britain's agricultural system. It is estimated that over £4,000,000-worth of fruit is pollinated by bees every year in England and Wales alone." For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

The battle of the Atlantic. One of Hitler's major objectives is the cutting of the life-line between Britain and the American continent. This map shows his failure to achieve that objective. Here you see the American and Canadian factories producing guns, tanks, and aeroplanes, and sailing them to Britain. American and Canadian air and sea patrols guard large stretches of the Atlantic, based on Canada, USA, Greenland, and Iceland. British air and sea patrols based on Britain, Northern Ireland, and Iceland guard the approaches to Britain. British ships sail to and from America in convoy escorted by Warships. American ships sail under the American flag to Britain. At the bottom of the picture you will see one of the 50 American destroyers given to the British Navy. Bomber aircraft from America to Britain are seen flying across the Atlantic under their own power. On the right of the picture off the port of Brest, the pride of the German Navy - the Bismark - is seen going down.

Britain's war-time engineering triumphs. PLUTO - Pipe-Line Under The Ocean. Without a constant flow of petrol from Britain to the Allied forces in Normandy the defeat of Germany would have been seriously delayed.

WP1 1

"Bezirk" bombs in world's biggest air raids. Panic spread through Germany on May 30th, when in the first thousand-bomber raid in history Cologne was "coventrated" - to use the expression the Germans themselves coined for their raids on British towns. The simile is not quite accurate - Britain aims only at military and industrial targets. Britain's huge bombs, many weighing 4,000 lbs., are known in Germany as "Bezirk" (district) - one bomb accounts for a whole district. Britain's air offensive has caused the diversion of immense quantities of men and equipment from the Russian campaign. And this is only the beginning of the story. "Cologne-raids" on Germany's chief cities may well hasten the collapse of Germany's effort in the East.' For Freedom poster series.

This is Rostock. An R.A.F. photograph of the Heinkel works at Rostock, heavily bombed in April, 1942. Note specially main assembly shop with roof damage and broken wall (lower right-hand) and salvaged fuselages, aircraft parts, etc. The Rostock raids occurred in period of intense R.A.F activity during which severe attacks were made on Kiel and Lubeck, the Renault Works at Paris were destroyed, and Germany's Third City, Cologne, was devastated by over a thousand bombers in one night. The R.A.F. offensive, the greatest of this war, is helping Russia by tying down nearly a million and a half German armed forces and Civil defence personnel. There is much internal evidence of Germany's desperate man-power problem.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

Royal Air Force attacks strain Luftwaffe. These huge aircraft are four-engined "Stirlings," one of the many types of powerful British bombers now taking part in the huge air offensive against Germany. Germany has been forced by the R.A.F to withdraw to the West half her home fighter 'plane strength (including the prized F.W.190s) and at least one-third of her bomber strength, a force which with aircraft ground staffs, anti-aircraft and Civil Defence Personnel totals nearly a million and a half men. Moreover, a large proportion of Germany's A.A. shell and armament production has to be earmarked for the West. Of the many ways in which the R.A.F air offensive reinforces the Soviet land offensive the effect upon Germany's man-power is probably the most important. Britain's sea blockade pins down millions more in a frantic effort to make German soil yield more food. The end may well come, as in 1918, through the drying-up of Germany's human reserves.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

British & US Aircraft combine in war's biggest air offensive. With the shattering of Lubeck and Rostock, the long-distance daylight bombing of Augsburg, the raids on Paris war-plants, the fighter sweeps over Northern France, and now the huge raids on Cologne and Essen, the mounting British air offensive is pinning down hundreds of thousands of Germans far from the land fighting in Russia. The damage to German was industry is severe enough, but it is the drain on man-power which most worries the High Command. At the height of the Russian campaign, an immense air-defence organisation must be maintained in the West and must be fed with the output of hundreds of thousands of arms workers. Above: American-built Douglas "Boston" bombers and (overhead) a British "Stirling."' For Freedom poster series.

1942-45 HMSO

WP1 1

British air power ties down German man-power. Britain's bombing offensive, most formidable of the war, is planned not only to wreck Germany's factories, but also to force her to maintain huge concentrations of Luftwaffe, A.A., and Civil Defence in the West. The heavy barrage through which the R.A.F. penetrates over the 2,000-mile occupied coast, over French towns and over Germany itself, indicates the extent to which attempts at air defence in the West are robbing Germany's Eastern front. Significantly, the Nazis admit that they face the greatest man-power problem of all time. Man-power failure against the U.S.S.R may well prove decisive. Thus Britain's present air offensive is playing a vital part in German defeat. Above: A giant "Halifax" bomber sets off for Germany.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

World's most powerful fleet is crippling Germany. A new British aircraft carrier (inset: the Deck Landing Officer with special apparatus guides the pilot of a returning plane). One of the most vital jobs of the Navy is to close the seas to Germany. Six million tons of Axis shipping has been lost outright, 500,000 tons is bottled up in neutral ports, and Germany as a result is forced heavily to increase her manpower in agriculture and industry. Because Germany cannot import foodstuffs, three civilian war-workers in every twelve in Germany are on the land and nine are in the factories. In Britain it is one on the land, eleven in factories-- a huge advantage in munitions production due to Britain's sea command.' For Freedom poster series.

1942-45 HMSO

WP1 1

Britain's submarines bottle-up German shipping. One of Britain's daring submarines, which since the beginning of the war, have sunk over 320 enemy ships including over 60 warships. Ever on the offensive, Britain's Navy keeps the German Fleet in harbour and bottles up German merchant shipping which would otherwise be bringing Germany the immense quantities of foodstuffs, oil, rubber, metals, textiles, and agricultural imports she vitally needs. To-day Germany announces she must increase food production by 22%. She is diverting millions more men to farms, factories and internal transport. Meanwhile the British air offensive and invasion threat pin down upwards of 3,000,000 German fighting men and A.R.P. personnel. Germany is finding her manpower utterly inadequate.' For Freedom poster series.

1942-45 HMSO

A digital version of this poster is available on the University of Minnesota Libraries UMedia Archive web site at http://purl.umn.edu/79737




WP1 1

This costs the German army millions of men. The British blockade has stopped thousands of tons of feeding stuffs, oil, etc., intended for Germany. Here part of a cargo taken from a captured German ship is being checked. Blockaded for nearly three years, Germany is now desperately short of textiles, rubber, oil, copper and other metals. (Over 1,000,000 tons of these products have been captured by the Navy since the beginning of the war.) Germany must increase food production by 22% but she is without cattle-fodder and essential fertilisers. The stocks looted from her victims are exhausted, and as she dare not now even attempt to run the blockade, she is diverting to the land millions of men she urgently needs in factories or the army. As in the last war, slowly, steadily the British blockade is strangling the aggressor.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

Britain's naval power is strangling German war effort. The 14-inch guns of one of Britain's newest battleships. The Navy has huge responsibilities-- but none more successfully executed nor more vital to victory than the blockade of Nazi Germany of which the gravest internal problem of the Nazi regime-- shortage of manpower -- is the direct result. Pre-war Germany relied on overseas trade for 53% of her essential commodities, including 90% of her oil. Deficiency of essential materials is compelling the Nazis to pour in millions more workers they wanted for the fighting forces. Synthetic oil alone requires seven times the manpower needed for natural oil. the German Navy has failed as dismally as the Luftwaffe to break the British stranglehold.' For Freedom poster series.

1942-45 HMSO

Has a large black and white photograph of the barrels of the 14 inch guns and part of the deck of the ship. The men on the deck of the ship are moving a thick rope/hose. The ship is out at sea.

WP1 1

The Navy's part in Germany's manpower crisis. Destroyers are the "greyhounds" of the British Navy. They not only guard our own merchant ships but hunt down the enemy's. Since the war began 6,000,000 tons of enemy shipping has been sunk, captured or forced to scuttle itself. Ersatz production, direct result of Britain's blockade, causes Germany to have to use, in factories, hundreds of thousands of extra workers who otherwise would be on the fighting fronts. Lack of cloth, of food, of fertiliser and cattle fodder, have compelled Germany to put on the land an additional force of upwards of 3,000,000 able-bodied German workers. Bottled up by the Navy, Germany faces a manpower crisis which daily increases.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

Two would-be blockade runners. Few Axis ships now try to run the British blockade, scarcely any succeed. These pictures of Axis ships used to carry war supplies show why during this war 6,000,000 tons of enemy merchant shipping has been sunk, captured or forced to scuttle itself; 500,000 tons is bottled up in neutral ports. Hitler's vaunted U-boats have failed to break the stranglehold. Denied food, raw materials and agricultural imports, Germany faces a manpower crisis of nightmare dimensions. Lack of imports keeps five million Germans in fields and factories whom Hitler desperately needs as fighters. The Nazis admit they have the greatest manpower problem of all time. Steadily the proof accumulates of the success of Britain's plans to dissipate Hitler's initial advantage in manpower. Already Hitler knows that the sea-borne supplies of the United Nations spell his doom.' For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

"They "Coventrated" Cologne. When they bombed British towns the Luftwaffe called it "coventrating." On May 30th over 1,000 British bombers dropped the biggest load of bombs in history, on Cologne. But unlike the Luftwaffe, the R.A.F. do not dump their bombs blindly -- they attack German war industry with the clear object of weakening the German Army in the East. The precautions Germany is forced to take in the West involve nearly a million and a half men -- a large proportion of whom would otherwise be fighting on or working for the Eastern front. Above: "Stirling" bombers, one of the many types of modern British bombers which "coventrated" Cologne. They are capable of carrying eight tons of bombs each." For Freedom poster series.

"New British weapons: No 4. Human Torpedoes. Two men in diving suits form the crew of the electrically driven "human torpedo". They proceed on the surface towards the target -- usually a ship in "safe anchorage" -- then dive under it. They fix the torpedo's detachable war-head to the ship's bottom, set the fuse, then ride away on the torpedo (now minus its war-head) before the explosion occurs.

WP1 1

"New British weapons: No 3. Rocket-firing aircraft. The rocket-firing aircraft is the most effective aerial weapon yet devised against small tactical and moving targets on the ground. The explosive force of a single rocket will knock the steel turret clean off the top of a tank and will smash into tiny fragments armour-plating over an inch thick. The gaseous flame of the rocket will melt steel and will set fire to anything that will burn. Four types of aircraft are used for firing rockets: "Hurricanes", Beaufighters", "Typhoons", and "Mosquitoes". They carry six rockets, each having an explosive power equivalent to that of a 105 mm. artillery shell. Picture above shows rockets leaving a "Beaufighter" plane." For freedom poster series.

WP1 1

"New British weapons: No 2. The 17-Pounder Gun. Specially designed to be the answer to the heavily armoured tanks which the Germans were expected to put into the field in 1943, Britain's 17-pounder anti-tank gun has been an immense success. The effectiveness of the 17-pounder was soon established. In one action it blew the turret off a tank at a range of 1,500 yards; in another it destroyed three tanks with three rounds. Mounted on a "Valentine" or "Sherman" chassis, the 17-pounder becomes a self-propelled gun. Capable of climbing slopes of 30 degrees and fording streams three feet deep, it has a radius of action of over 100 miles. It proved more than a match for the most powerful German tanks."

WP1 1

"New British weapons: No 1. Flame-throwers. It is chiefly because of the compound used that British flame-throwers are superior to all others. It took many months of patient research to develop this special compound, which is easy to ignite and difficult to extinguish; which will cling to the walls of pill-boxes, turning them into a raging inferno; and which, capable of ejection under high pressure, gives the flame-thrower a long range. The flame-thrower was actually a German invention but British scientists improved it and made the invention recoil on the heads of those who began its use. The "Lifebuoy" type of flame-thrower, carried by infantry, is shown in the big picture above; A 'Crocodile' flame-thrower shoots a jet of dripping, liquid fire at its target; 'Wasp' flame-throwers create a raging, scorching sea of flame." For Freedom poster series.

WP1 1

British Guns: No 6. The 25-pounder field gun. The 25-pounder is the principal weapon of the British artillery. It is one of the finest field guns in the world, combining the features of an howitzer and of the 18-pounder, but with a far greater range than the later. An elevating wheel allows it to be used as a high-velocity gun with a range of 17,000 yards, or as a howitzer with a range of 10,000 yards. The gun is accompanied by an ammunition carrier containing thirty-two shells and separate charges, the gun's firing rate being about six rounds a minute. The 25-pounder gun is mounted on a bullet-proof carriage with pneumatic tyres and is towed by a fast armoured truck capable of 25 miles an hour on roads and 15 miles an hour over open country.'

WP1 1

"No 1. On Board a British Battleship. One of the famous ships of the Royal Navy. Famous for centuries, Britain's Royal Navy has added new honours to its record during the present war. British warships control vast stretches of the ocean. Long-range guns, air reconnaissance, and wireless communications -- all help to keep the sea-routes open. The effective battle range of the 14-inch guns, used on Britain's most modern battleship, is over twelve miles. By wireless the ships can keep in touch with other vessels, and with aircraft patrolling the skies. The Navy has been the great link of the British Commonwealth in war. For over four years it has played a vital part in guarding the life-lines that connect the nations ranged against the Axis Powers." For Victory poster series.

WP1 1

"No 2. On Board a British Battleship. Signals are flashed by searchlight. As darkness falls, signals can no longer be sent by means of flags from ship to ship, and the giant 24-inch searchlight is switched on and brought into use. By means of the Morse code, signals can be flashed as rapidly as eighteen words per minute. Navy signallers can therefore "talk" to another ship or send messages back to the shore with a minimum loss of time." For Victory poster series.

WP1 1

"No 3. On Board a British Battleship. An Oerlikon gun in action. The rate of fire from the Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun is 600 shells per minute. It is a 20-mm. gun and is the latest of this type. The Oerlikon can be swung in a wide arc in a very few seconds, which gives the gunner nearly the same swiftness of movement as that of a man with a rifle at his shoulder. The Oerlikon is a "one-man" gun, but a second gunner, trained to take the first man's place, is always standing by during action. British naval anti-aircraft guns have been responsible for shooting down well over 550 enemy aircraft since the beginning of the war and, in conjunction with the guns of the Merchant Navy, have accounted for over 100 more." For Victory poster series.

1939-45 HMSO

WP1 1

"No 4. On Board a British Battleship. A pom-pom gun's crew at action stations. King of the anti-aircraft guns is the multiple pom-pom. These guns have four or eight barrels and fire shells at the rate of 80 per minute from each barrel -- that is, a total of 300 to 600 shells per minute. They create a hail of shells through which few enemy aircraft are brave enough to try to fly. The intense barrage put up necessitates the gun's crew wearing special pads to protect their ear-drums." For Victory poster series.

1939-45 HMSO

Has a coloured photograph of two men stood by the pom-pom anti-aircraft gun on the deck of the battleship. One is holding a pair of binoculars. Part of the ship can be seen in the background.

WP1 1

"No 5. On Board a British Battleship. Signalling a message from the flag deck. From the flag deck of the battleship messages are sent by flag signallers either to the shore or to other ships in the flotilla. While the signaller flags his message, a seaman stands beside him to watch for an answer. In this way messages are sent and received at a very high speed. Signalling is very important in convoy work when it is necessary for one ship to communicate with another because, for security reasons, wireless must not be used. Convoying merchant ships is an endless, heavy routine but, because of it, 199 out of every 200 ships so protected make their journeys safely." For Victory poster series.

1939-45 HMSO

Has a large coloured photograph of 2 men. One is using flags to signal and the other is looking through a telescope, presumably to see the signals from another ship.

WP1 1

"British Airborne troops. No 5: Glider troops go into action. As soon as the "Horsa" lands, the troops jump out and go straight into action. Airborne divisions, by reason of their speed of transport and opportunities for silent, surprise attacks, prepare the way for ground or sea assaults. They are picked men and have to undergo rigorous training before becoming glider troops, since they must often fight for days on their own without any new orders from headquarters. General Sir Alan Brooke, G.C.B., D.S.O., Chief of the Imperial General Staff, is Colonel Commandant of the Glider Pilot Regiment, Britain's advance striking force. The men take up preliminary attacking positions. An airborne mortar crew prepares its weapon. Glider troops await the signal to advance." For Victory poster series.

WP1 1

"British Airborne troops. No 2: A member of the airborne forces. Britain's glider pilots are drawn from the Army; most are Sergeants who volunteered for this special training. Commanded by a Lieutenant-Colonel, a former Royal Air Force pilot, these men were selected from 25,000 volunteers. They are not only trained to fly light aircraft as well as gliders but have also had to undergo special infantry training since, on landing, the pilot immediately leads his troops into action. In their first test, glider pilots successfully transported 1,300 men 600 miles with only one accident. A lesson in tactics at a training school for glider pilots. Pilots are taught how to identify friendly and hostile aircraft. In the briefing room the pupils receive a route and weather report." For Victory poster series.

WP1 1

A British heavy infantry tank - The "Matilda" - 26 tons of armoured fighting power. British troops were right to call this heavy infantry tank "Waltzing Matilda."

WP1 1

The heavies - A 9.2-inch howitzer of the Royal Artillery. This monster British 9.2-inch howitzer fires a 290-lb. shell a distance of six miles. Ten highly-trained men are necessary to work the 9.2 and it takes four men to carry one shell. When loading, the barrel is depressed to the horizontal position. The shell is gripped by mechanical loading arms and placed in the breech. Explosion of a cordite charge expels the shell. After the howitzer has fired, the recoil is absorbed by the recoil buffer. Howitzers can be brought into action quicker than guns, though their rate of fire is slower. They have a high trajectory and can be fired over obstacles such as hills. A shell from a 9.2-inch howitzer will reach a height of three miles. This "plunging" fire is very destructive to targets such as strong fortifications.'

"The British Navy guards our shipping routes. 1. During War, all merchant ships must travel in convoy. That means that many ships sail together, with warships to protect them from enemy raiders, submarines and aeroplanes. 2. Enemy aeroplanes try to sink our merchant ships with bombs and aerial torpedoes, but the big guns of the warships soon drive them away. Merchant ships are fitted with anti-aircraft guns, to protect themselves. 3. Axis submarines lurk round our trade routes, hoping to sink unprotected merchant ships. Our warships are vigilant and are fitted with apparatus to warn them when submarines are near. Then they drop depth charges. 4. The depth charges explode under the water and put the enemy submarine out of action. Sometimes the submarine limps to the surface and her crew get out. Then the British sailors rescue them and make them prisoners. 5. Surface raiders, too, often threaten the convoys. Some of the warships give battle to the raider while other warships escort the convoy safely on its way. 6. Safe arrival!

The epic of Malta G.C. June 1940-July 1943. Malta lies midway between the eastern and western gates of the Mediterranean. It commands also the stretch of water where Europe and North Africa are only 90 miles apart. Whoever commands the Mediterranean must first command Malta. For two years Malta stood in a state of siege, the first air-siege in history. Dependent on the outside world for supplies, Malta had to be provisioned by the British Merchant Navy under the protection of the Fleet. many were the gallant men and ships lost, but Malta was sustained. The all-out Axis attempts to subdue the Island were met, and beaten, by an all-out defence which, mounting in strength with every fresh convoy brought through, gradually assumed the character of a hard-hitting offensive. Malta, Island of Heroes, became the key-point of Mediterranean strategy. Has Malta yielded, the expulsion of the Axis from Africa might have been long delayed. But Malta did not yield. From a battered, besieged and beleaguered fortress, Malta, awarded the George Cross for its gallantry, has become the very spearhead of the United Nations Mediterranean attack.'
