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.
The Times comments on the manpower reallocation process so far:
The process of restoring both civilian manufacture and services and production for export to the 1939 level, and still more of expanding these to the level desired and required by the conditions of today and tomorrow must plainly rely for success upon every conceivable effort to quicken demobilisation still more, within the limits imposed by military need and equity of release ... before the great and decisive national venture of doubling the national income by increased productivity can be begun, the men and women needed must be moved to their required stations.
