National Service and General Service Medals

National Service and General Service Medals

The World at War Vol 2

More than two million National Servicemen were conscripted into the British armed forces between the end of the Second World War and November 1959, with the last of them being demobilised in 1963. 

In addition to this, hundreds and thousands jumped before they were pushed and volunteered for regular service; many such regarded themselves as conscripts in all but name.

Conscription bit into the lives of tens of millions of people: men usually became liable for Service in the year they were eighteen years old, with the only exemptions were Clergymen and those who had been certified insane or blind.

This book is about those National Servicemen who served in Palestine: Canal Zone: Malaya: Suez: Cyprus; Kenya and those who were awarded the General Service Medal.
