BBC R3 - Neil Brand's 'Seeing It Through'
Directed by David Hunter
Broadcast November 4, 2007
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

How Charles Masterman enlisted some of Britain's artistic luminaries
to prepare propaganda for the WWI war effort.

Masterman's War Propaganda Bureau [WPB] invented 'plucky little
Belgium' and 'Huns killing nuns'. It controlled non-military access to
the Western Front. Anyone other than WPB licensed photographers
found taking pictures was subject to execution.

WPB controls are why there are so few photographs of mangled British
corpses - they didn't want another PR disaster, like Crimea.
