Hi Wavy
Been wonderful to find out more.
I knew I was very privileged to be mentored by such a brilliant man but I never found out about Manpower until today.

The U.K. had a similar system, which continued after W.W.2, applying to National Service in peace time, rather than to war time conscripts.
I was a fireman on express steam locos in the mid 50s, and as such was
in a reserved occupation, and therefor exempt from National Service,
although I did much later join the R.A.F.
