The Huge Military
Meanwhile, during day Britain was trying best to recruit as much as they could in the army to increase their strength. Compared to France where 5 million men were recruited, Britain could only recruit 900,000 men. So, a new law was passed which stated that every able-bodied man between the age of 18 and 41 would enroll themselves in the army. So basically, a form of National Service was made mandatory for men until 1963.
