Description: | Ration card for meat issued by the Ministry of Food in 1918.
Each household had to register with a butcher so meat could be
distributed fairly. This system also allowed the Ministry of
Food to check the distribution of supplies. The severity of
misuse was refelected by the ����100 fine or 6 months imprisonment
or both!
The butcher who issued this card was F. Hawker of
Bromley and the family of six had a total weekly meat ration of
ten shillings. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bromley Museum | Rights holder: | Bromley Museum Service | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 8.1919 | Source: | Bromley Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
