A
Ration Book: The
ration book contained food coupons and was issued to every home during
world war 2. Once a family had a ration book they had to register with a
local grocer and butcher to obtain their rations. Tea, that old British
favourite, was not under restriction until July 1940, and from the outset
children were entitled to extra foods considered essential for growth,
such as milk and orange juice. Everyone was expected to stick to
rationing, including the Royal Family. |
