    My father fought for the British Army in WW2. Is there any way to see the 'blacklist'? Any links for it? He never told me about any blacklist but he did move to England in the early 50s so im interested if he was on the blacklist? He did say whilst his main motivation was anti-fascist, Dublin was a poor and hungry place to be in the 1940s ...

    It can be purchased here http://www.naval-military-press.com/product.php?productid=25645&cat=0&page=1 but someone may be able to do a look up for you, there were approx 5,000 names of men on the list who deserted.Your fathers name may not be on the list as it is estimated that up to 50,000 from the south volunteered.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/3749629.stm
