Hi All
Does anyone know what the abbreviations on the 1939 forms mean. L(UEP) 12/6/44, B234. UBD 29/8/44. UAP 3/10/??. UCT24/7/47. UCH 1/4/49. UCA 13/10/49. NHA 12/3/51.
There seems to have been quite a lot going on for this family member but not the others. Can’t work it out.
Many thanks.
Pat
Pat,
Perhaps another volunteer can be of more help. This is what I found on the internet. Some seem to be best guess.
L(UEP) Local Electric Power
B234 UBD "In the context of Northern Ireland ration books, the acronym B234 refers to the Belfast area, while UDB stands for Ulster. These terms are used to identify specific regions within the rationing system during World War II, which was implemented to ensure fair distribution of scarce resources among the population.
UAP? UCH Ulster
UCT Under Control (items being rationed)
UCA Shankhill/ Woodville area
NHA "In the context of Northern Ireland ration books, the acronym NHA is likely referring to Nazi Hinterland, which was a term used during World War II to describe areas under Nazi control, particularly in the UK. This term was used to describe regions that were affected by the war and the resulting rationing of resources. "
