This is an entry in a year-long project to post-blog the demobilisation experience for British servicemen at the end of the Second World War. See here for an introduction to the project and here for a brief overview of the demobilisation process.
A Times leader warns of the potential dangers of tardy demobilisation. "Already there are appeals for a great acceleration of releases ... the manpower of the country has been running down for more than eighteen months." But it acknowledges (in that thumb-sucking, on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand way beloved of Times leaders) that for the time being the "inescapable demands" of the war in the Far East and the occupation of Germany must have a paramount claim.
