Files of the Military Recruitment Department relating to a variety of topics including deferments; conscientious objection; control of medical manpower; the National Service Bill 1947; the administration of and a complete set of forms used under the National Service Acts 1948 to 1955; papers of H N de Villiers (head of Military Recruitment 1939 to 1944); and papers concerned with British subjects repatriated from Egypt after the Suez crisis of 1956. The series also includes files of the Military Training (Hardship) Committee and the Medical Advisory Committee; the National Service Appellate Tribunal; and records of War Cabinet Manpower Priority Committee and its Sub-Committee on the schedule of reserved occupations. Many later files deal with the deferment of national service for certain categories and with the treatment of conscientious objectors.
