It's 25 years since the end of National Service and the return of millions of young men from two years of compulsory military training.
Private Michael Aspel of the King's Royal Rifle Corps flicks back the years to the National Service experience and recalls its joys and terrors, its humour and its discomforts, as remembered by a few of those who reported for duty all those years ago: ex-airman Bob Monkhouse, Pay Corps Corporal Leslie Thomas, former Lance Bombardier John Junkin, and ex-RAF officer (ground crew) John Dunn.
Off-parade noises include the voices of RSM Brittain, Private William Speakman, VC, The Rt Hon Sir Anthony Eden, Mary Stocks, Private Bill Flowers, Jean Metcalfe and many others.
Devised and written by Terence Pettigrew (REME)
