The ham sandwiches without which no railway refreshment room had seemed complete were one
The ham sandwiches without which no railway refreshment room had seemed complete were one of the first casualties of rationing in World War Two. When their doom was announced in November 1939, the assurance was that beef sandwiches would take their place, but that was over optimistic. Circa 1939. © Mirrorpix

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1930s, a time when ham sandwiches were an essential part of any railway refreshment room. However, with the outbreak of World War Two came the harsh reality of rationing, and these beloved sandwiches became one of its first casualties. In November 1939, as news spread about the impending doom of ham sandwiches due to rationing measures, there was a glimmer of hope that beef sandwiches would fill their void. Unfortunately, this optimism proved to be short-lived. The scarcity caused by war made it increasingly challenging to provide such luxuries even in railway refreshment rooms. The image captures not only a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. It symbolizes how everyday pleasures like enjoying a simple sandwich were disrupted for the greater good. Transportation hubs like railways played crucial roles during World War Two, connecting people and goods across vast distances. This photograph encapsulates both the mundane and extraordinary aspects of life during this tumultuous period – where ordinary routines collided with extraordinary circumstances. As we reflect on this piece from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who endured hardships and shortages during WWII while cherishing our own modern-day comforts and freedoms.
