Wouldn't be called up
Bob Monkhouse implies he works in a munitions factory.
Wouldn't that have been a reserve occupation?
he said he use to, implying he stopped working there before being called up.. probs to get married, however i do think you're right, let's face it, war time is a call to arms and by extension a call to manufacturing to make them
shareWe weren't at war in 1958, so why would there be reserved occupations? All men still had to do national service though, which I think ended in 1960.

It doesn't matter if there was no war on there WERE reserved occupations. Coal miners, farm workers and primary school teachers were exempt from national service.
