Cooking in difficult times

My mother has a copy of Mrs Arthur Webb's 'War Time Cookery - published 1939 (reprinted 1940), she clearly didn't hang about. There's this to give the flavour:
Casserole of cucumber -
  • 4 small cucumbers
  • 1/2 lb of sausagemeat
  • 3/4 pt of stock
  • 1 turnip
  • 3 carrots
  • 6 small onions
  • seasoning
I don't have the precise method here but she does recommend removing the cucumber seeds before cooking.
