As Britain emerged from the Second World War, the armed forces
desperately needed extra manpower to face new threats from old
allies and to meet the considerable obligations of its Empire.
Between 1947 and 1960, more than 1.1 million men were conscripted
for a oneor two-year stint as national servicemen to help the Army,
RAF, and, to a lesser extent, the Navy, cope with the demands
placed on them. After basic training of bull, blanco and
square-bashing, recruits would quickly be turned into soldiers,
airmen and sailors and posted all over the globe - many of them to
fight guerillas, cope with riots and civil war, or even serve on
the front line in such theatres as Korea, Malaya, Suez and Aden.
Peter Doyle and Paul Evans here explain what life was like for
these recruits, from training to demob, and how they were affected
by their experiences.
