WW2 Ration book
(Photo and text by Vincent Carmody)
Ration books were issued to people during the war years ( the emergency) and some years later. Rationing food and other goods was required to overcome the shortages of imports into the country. I have spoken to people, born in the late 1930’s, who were amazed when they saw banana’s for the first time in the early 1950s. The ration book photographed was issued to my cousin, Johnny Buckley, he of 26 William Street, in 1948.
