National service
National Service was the name given to the system of military conscription employed in Great Britain between 1949 and 1960. The system of wartime conscription used between 1939 and 1949 was also officially called National Service, although in fact was usually referred to as "war service". The same term is still used to describe the compulsory military (and sometimes civilian) service that is still implemented in some countries, including Singapore, Greece, South Korea, Israel and the Russian Federation.
