WW2 Christmas card, The Week's Ration

WW2 Christmas card, showing a butcher in his shop, a reproduction of a painting entitled The Week's Ration. The verse inside reads: When we queue for our chop in the butcher's shop, / Our thoughts turn to days of old. / With their choice of Chump or juicy Rump, / Of Saddle or Sirloin bold! / But as our JOINT efforts are helping the war / In no uncertain fashion, / The CUT's worth while, so with WINNING smile / We take our weekly ration
