Description

DescriptionAddress on card is for family on the One Mile Estate, Ipswich. Clothing ration card used by an Ipswich family during World War Two. "Rationing regulations for food and clothing were gazetted on 14 May 1942. Rationing was introduced to manage shortages and control civilian consumption. It aimed to curb inflation, reduce total consumer spending, and limit impending shortages of essential goods. Australians were never as short of food nor rationed as heavily as civilians in the United Kingdom. Rationing was enforced by the use of coupons and was limited to clothing, tea, sugar, butter, and meat. From time to time, eggs and milk were also rationed under a system of priority for vulnerable groups during periods of shortage."

Elizabeth (Lizzy) Klein is remembered by her great niece Barbara Routhof as residing at One Mile with Frank Klein, Elizabeth's brother, on property they mutually owned. Neither she nor her brother married.

Elizabeth was born in Karrabin and was christened in St Mary's Catholic Church in 1896.

During World War II, the land that Elizabeth and Frank owned and occupied together at One Mile Estate was requisitioned by the government on behalf of the Australian Military Forces. The requisition was relinquished officially on the 1st of April 1943.References (offline)Information taken from; Australian War Memorial Encyclopedia; 2009, retrieved 28 September 2009.
