Britain had to ration goods during World War II due to shortages caused by the war's impact on production and supply chains. With a significant portion of resources redirected to support the military effort, essential items like food, fuel, and clothing became scarce. Rationing was implemented to ensure equitable distribution, prevent hoarding, and maintain morale among the population. This system allowed the government to manage limited resources effectively while supporting the war effort.
During the first world war, the food ministry was created in Britain to ration food products. During the second world war, the food ration for one week was, eggs, fats, cheese, and bacon.

If you were lucky you would get k ration. They were an important source of food for WWII soldiers. A K ration was also a pocket ration for paratroopers .... but large, pockets that were designed to be able to hold a k ration box. A C ration is an already canned food sent in to the soldiers. If you got or had none of those you had to eat a German soldier. To finish off you would not get to much food to eat during World War 2.
You were given ration tickets that were barely worth any food that you had to claim at public government stands that always ran out of food.
