As part of the \u2018Improving Health in Wartime\u2019 exhibition<\/a>, we are planning a series of events using archive material.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the World War theme, I have selected leaflets from our Nutrition collection produced by the Ministry of Food on the onset of the Second World War and after.
