Interesting, I think its mentioned in Antony Beevors Inside the British army. Of course two things happened. The Cold war ended and this reduced the size of the army. and also it turned out that the fears over the lack of baby making in the '70's did not materialise. How much of this was down to immigration or not improving fact checking of birth statistics, I am not sure.
What's Next on the Agenda Louie? You were working on an ORBAT?
