Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a paper for school and I'm having a beast of a time finding the right sources. My topic is the English home front during WWI, with a focus on rationing and food supply. I was hoping to take an angle towards hoarding and the black market (people using cheap fillers, etc.) but I don't seem to be coming across many secondary sources that really delve into it. For primary sources, I've been trying to uncover any legal hearings/prosecutions/trials/etc. relating to the black market, but again, nothing. I'm starting to worry that I won't have enough sources to reach my page requirement, but I really can't change topics now, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Maybe you would have more sources if you focus on government policy. hansard.millbanksystems.com contains all the parliamentary debates. If you have access to the Times archive you might find some cases but otherwise it isn't likely.
The following links might give a few hints
