RATIONING AFTER THE WAR
Londoners queue with their ration booklets for bread in
Walworth in southeast London. Rationing was a part of life
for Britons during WWII and continued for years after the
war ended, with bread rationed until 1948 and sugar
until 1953. Britons eventually came off rations in 1954
and many celebrated by burning the ration books
that had played such a big role in their lives
for over a decade.
