Someone mentioned the Home Guard. My Grandpa was horrified to find that he couldn't re-join the army at the beginning of WWII because, having put his age up to join the army before WWI, he appeared to be too old! My Mum says the Home Guard saved his sanity. And other people have likened their grnadfathers to members of Dad's Army. Mine was most definitely Captain Mainwaring!
