- Brief description:
- 'Your Son and the Army', 1959. Information leaflet, 1959. A leaflet issued to the parents and families of men undertaking National Service. This leaflet was received by the parents of Rifleman (later Lieutenant-General) Peter Duffnell in December 1959. One section of the leaflet deals with the reasons behind National Service, ‘Because of the unsettled times in which we live, our country, in common with many others, has an obligation to assist in keeping the peace. Our commitments require us to maintain defence forces in many places throughout the world and it is impracticable to maintain a standing army of sufficient size to do this’.
