Impressions of National Service
Between 1945 and 1963, two and a half million young men said goodbye to the comforts of civilian life, and spent two years in a world of battledress, barracks and bullish sergeants. With the help of ex-National Servicemen like Bob Monkhouse , Windsor Davies , Frank Bough ,
Paul Foot , Leslie Thomas , Michael Frayn , Bruce Kent ,
Fred Trueman , Auberon Waugh and Nicholas Harman , those National Service days are recalled. Introduction read by Colin Blakely
