In May 1941, Thomas and Caitlin moved to London, leaving their son with his grandmother at Blashford in Hampshire.
Thomas hoped to find employment in the film industry and wrote to the director of the films division of the Ministry of Information ( MOI ).
After being rebuffed he found work with Strand Films providing him with his first regular income since the Daily Post.
Strand produced films for the MOI ; Thomas scripted at least five films in 1942, This Is Colour ( a history of the British dyeing industry ) and New Towns For Old ( on post-war reconstruction ).
These Are The Men ( 1943 ) was a more ambitious piece where Thomas ' verse accompanies Leni Riefenstahl's footage of an early Nuremberg rally.
Conquest of a Germ ( 1944 ) explored the use of early antibiotics in the fight against pnuemonia and tuberculosis.
Our Country ( 1945 ) was a romantic tour of Britain set to Thomas ' poetry.
