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.
Former war correspondent James Lansdale Hodson writes in his diary: "A man badly disfigured from war injuries and who had gone through nine months of plastic surgery returned to work. A deputation from other workmen asked that he be dismissed as his presence was too trying. The controller said: 'I have seldom been so angry. I said what I thought.' He ignored the demand."
