Framed Print of Registering for Military Training 3rd June 1939. Six thousand five hundred young

Registering for Military Training 3rd June 1939.
Six thousand five hundred young men presented themselves at employment exchanges in the Greater Birmingham area on Saturday afternoon and evening to register for military training. Here is a photograph of the work in progress at the Birmingham Central Exchange New Corporation Street.
The Militiamen were the result of The Military Training Act 1939 which was an Act of Parliament passed by the Conservative administration on 26 May 1939, in a period of international tension that led to World War II. The Act applied to males aged 20 and 21 years old who were to be called up for six months full-time military training, and then transferred to the Reserve..
Men called up were to be known as militiamen to distinguish them from the regular army. To emphasise this distinction, each man was issued with a suit in addition to a uniform. The intention was for the first intake to undergo six months of basic training before being discharged into an active reserve. They would then be recalled for short training periods and attend annual camps.
There was one registration under the Act, of the first cohort of liable males, on Saturday 3 June 1939, and call-up for these men followed. © Mirrorpix
