l COULD your readers settle a problem which has arisen between a group of we oldies at our local day centre?
Like most of the group, I was conscripted in 1948 to do 18 months’ National Service, but shortly after call-up, the Government of the day extended the service period to two years.
The bone of contention between us is how long was the gap between the 18 months and two years?
I think the gap was several months: others say it was at least a year. Help would be appreciated.
