0007817 - 1948
The cold winter was all the harder to bear because of the lack of nourishment particulary fats
The 1948 ration was 1 ounce of cooking fat per person per week
This cupboard was typical of thousands of British larders
Even dried eggs had disappeared from the shops the packet in the picture had been hoarded
At one village raffle the prize was a solitary fresh egg
A British housewife's larder: with no exaggeration this is typical of thousands of British larders
Mrs Gill has no reserves to fall back on and she uses up all her rations from week to week
