Jon, you're quite right about this being an underdocumented period and difficult to research. 'Vintage Roadscene' magazine had an article on the winter of 1947 in their March edition which gives some useful background on the years of austerity.

Many 'Duration of Emergency' servicemen (at least the younger ones) were of course still overseas for some time after the cessation of hostilities.

Good luck !
