World War 2 booklet It Can Now Be Revealed, published 1945
Throughout the war the British Railways Press Office issued a series of booklets that outlined the official story of the railways at war. This image shows the cover of the final booklet that was published in 1945 at the end of the conflict. It Can Now Be Revealed does exactly what it says on the cover - it reveals, in detail, the role of the railways during the war years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of a significant historical artifact - the World War 2 booklet titled "It Can Now Be Revealed" published in 1945. Produced by the British Railways Press Office, this final installment concludes a series of booklets that aimed to provide an official account of the railways' role during the war years. The image depicts a striking design featuring bold typography and patriotic colors, evoking a sense of national pride and unity. The title itself hints at previously undisclosed information being brought to light, shedding new insights into the railways' contributions throughout the conflict. During World War 2, railway factories played an instrumental role in munitions work, yet much of this was shrouded in secrecy until now. This booklet serves as a comprehensive resource, delving into intricate details about these clandestine operations carried out within these factories. "It Can Now Be Revealed" is not just any ordinary leaflet; it is an invaluable piece of history that unravels untold stories from one of humanity's darkest periods. It offers readers an opportunity to gain deeper knowledge and appreciation for how rail transport played its part in supporting wartime efforts. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of both the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those involved in maintaining Britain's railway system amidst adversity.
