A file of memoranda and meeting minutes concerning the manpower requirements of the British army after the Second World War. The documents discuss a potential crisis in which the British army’s commitments in Greece and Italy exceeded the available manpower; potential solutions such as slowing down the demobilisation process; and the drawbacks to this, such as a deficit of men to fill British industry, and the feelings of resentment from the men denied demobilisation.
