6 Source D The opinion of a member of the public on government propaganda, interviewed by Mass Observation in the Second World War. Mass Observation was an official organisation set up in 1937 to record everyday life in Britain. In just one short walk I counted 48 official posters on hoardings, shelters, buildings. They included ones to tell you to eat National Wholemeal Bread, not to waste food, to keep your children in the country, how to behave in an air raid shelter, to look out in the blackout, to look for poison gas, to carry your gas mask always, to join the ATS, to register for Civil Defence duties, to help build a plane, to recruit for the Air Training Corps, to save for Victory. 5 Source E A secondary interpretation of the idea of total war in Britain in the two world wars. From The Making of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr, a book published in 2009 to accompany the BBC TV series of the same name.

9 Source H A description of life in the East End of London during the Blitz. It is from a report written on 31st August 1940 by the British Home Intelligence Division of the Ministry of Information. Such reports were kept secret. Lack of sleep is beginning to tell on people in all areas, showing itself in paleness and tiredness of children and irritability of grown-ups. This is particularly true of poorer districts where conditions are crowded and public shelters are packed and noisy at night. In shelters in Bethnal Green hundreds of people of mixed ages and sexes congregate with bedding in unsanitary conditions and remain all night. 5 Source J A comment on children evacuated from London. From the novel Put Out More Flags by Evelyn Waugh published in The novel was set during the Phoney War. Oh dear, Mr Mudge said Mrs Sothill, which of them is giving trouble? Why it s all of em. There s the boy was the best of em at first though you can t understand what he do say. To cheer him up I took him out to see me kill the goose. Very interested he was and I gave him the head to play with and he seemed quite pleased. Then no sooner was I off to the root field, then blessed if he didn t get hold of a knife and when I came back supper time there was six of my ducks dead and the old cat. Then the little un, she s a dirty girl, mum. It s not only wetting the bed; she s wetted everywhere, chairs, floor and not only wetting.
