Summary[edit]

Description

This is June 1945 and the Information bureau in Trafalgar Square was nothing of the sort but was in fact a concrete pillbox to be used as a strong point in case of invasion.

The banner hanging from Grand Buildings on the right advertises the "Out of the Battle" Exhibition which was sponsored by the Daily Herald and held in the grounds of Clarence House during June, July and August 1945. The exhibition highlighted the work of the Army Medical Services and Red Cross during the war.
