Administration Employed Filling Ration Rationing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during World War II as girls diligently fill in ration books in a quiet, orderly office setting. Dated 1939, the image offers a glimpse into the vital role women played in supporting the British war effort from the home front. With the country at war, rationing became a necessary measure to ensure the fair distribution of essential supplies among the population. These young women, employed specifically for this task, worked meticulously to record the names and other necessary information for each ration book before they were distributed. The scene exudes a sense of determination and resilience as these girls contributed to the larger war effort in their own way. The photograph is a testament to the important administrative work that kept the British war machine running smoothly during this critical time in history.
