Title: after the war - demobilisation centers london
Post by: Emma Pierce on Tuesday 15 December 15 21:02 GMT (UK)

Hi all!

I was wondering if there is a list somewhere, or a place I can find out the places that were active demobilisation centers as WW2 ended in London?

Thanks
Emma :o

Men and women would be issued with Civilian clothes.

So I think there would be racks  and racks of suits and shirts and ties etc, like a giant clothes supermarket.
