††Clothing coupons: Before people were allowed to buy clothes they had to make sure they had the correct number of coupons. In 1941 each person was given 66 coupons, but in 1942 only 48 were allocated. As the list below shows, the coupons were sure to be used up very quickly. Man's shirt - 5 coupons, Man's jacket - 13 coupons Man's suit - 26 coupons, Man's handkerchief - 1 coupon Man's shoes - 7 coupons, Woman's coat - 18 coupons Woollen dress - 11 coupons, Pair of knickers - 2 coupons Woman's shoes - 5 coupons Children's shoes - 3 coupons
