Yes. All countries involved in WW2 (and all occupied territories) had rationing and ration books. The only alternative to rationing by coupons would have been rationing by price. In most cases, this would have sent the prices of essentials sky high.

Did British army soldiers have ration books and how did the rations work when they were home on leave?

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.
