Ration Books
Before WWII started, Britain imported about 55 million tons of food a year from other countries. After war was declared in September 1939, the British government had to cut down on the amount of food it brought in from abroad as German submarines started bombing British supply ships. There was a worry that this would lead to shortages of food supplies in the shops so the British government decided to introduce a system of rationing.
Ration Books
Ration books were books which contained coupons. Stores clipped
coupons out of the books when
people bought food and other items.
Ration Books
Rationing was introduced in January 1940 to make sure everyone got a fair share of food. Rationing of food lasted for 14 years and finally ended in July 1954.
Ration Books
Meat, jam, biscuits, fish, tea, breakfast cereals, cheese, eggs, tomatoes, peas, dried fruit, rice, and canned fruit were rationed.
Potatoes and fresh fruit were not rationed.
Ration Books
As the war
progressed, clothing, soap, coal, gas, electricity, sweets, and chocolate were also rationed.
