Went to see the new Dad's Army film this evening... :'( :'( :'(
Its shocking to think that if it were now then I think I would of been in Dads Army, I wonder if we were suddenly transported back then how many of us would actually be the age to be in Dads Army (home guard)
Actually I don't know the age, anyone know ?

I think the upper age of conscription in WW2 was something like 40?. So anyone over that age I guess, although the Home Guard comprised of men aged 18-65 I think because it included those waiting for their call-up papers, people in reserved occupations (eg essential war work) and those not considered fit enough for regular active service etc...
