Years Ago—July 26, 1942: British begin rationing chocolate and candy.
Maj. Gen. Millard Harmon takes command of US Army Forces in South Pacific Area,
to be based at Noumea, New Caledonia.
I think I would have been siding with all the kiddies...What a sad day!! In short pants at the time (he was 3) hubby remembers only too well the rationing at home! Dad was a miner, hubby had many siblings,and times were tough... A GI introduced him to a Hershey bar later in the war producing a big toothy grin however! Thanks for the memories says ex-hubby

Sweets rationed - and tea! Things were truly hard on the British home front.
