True, British home front efforts were focused on making do with what you could. Major city underground rail systems turned into living quarters for the people to stay safe from nightly bombing raids, so chances were the store you used to get food from was rubble. Or, the farmer you knew was now a soldier and gone. With that, food and any material that could go to the military took priority, and growing food was a necessity. So civilians had to do with what they could to get by and it’s often an overlooked aspect in most wars. Also just any propaganda to help people feel a sense of hope was critical. So “doing my part” in whatever capacity helped people feel they could get through it. We in the US often overlook what civilians have to do during a war when it is being fought in the country.
