Government issued ration books
Yes, British army soldiers were issued ration books during their service, especially during World War II, to manage food scarcity and ensure fair distribution. When soldiers were home on leave, they could use their ration books to obtain food items, but their rations were generally reduced compared to those of civilians. This system aimed to support the war effort while allowing soldiers to supplement their diet with available civilian food supplies. Rationing ensured that both military personnel and civilians had access to essential food items during times of scarcity.
Ration books were issued by the US government to allow everyone to have the same chance to get goods as everyone else. There is no exact number on how many ration books were issued but over 8000 ration offices were opened to control the rationing.
