Demobilisation of the British Armed Forces after the Second World War At the end of the Second World War , there were approximately five million servicemen and servicewomen in the British armed forces . The demobilisation and reassimilation of this vast force back into civilian life was one of the first and greatest challenges facing the postwar British government . Demobilisation plan . The wartime Minister of Labour and National Service , Ernest Bevin , was the chief architect of the demobilisation plan , which was unveiled to the public on September 22 , 1944 . Most servicemen and servicewomen were to be released from the armed forces according to their ' age - and - service number ' , which , as its name suggests , was calculated from their age and the months they had served in uniform . A small number of so - called ' key men ' whose occupational skills were vital to postwar reconstruction were to be released ahead of their turn . Married women and men aged fifty or more were also given immediate priority . Release process . The release process began on June 18 , 1945 , about six weeks after V - E Day . During the next eighteen months about 4 . 3 million men and women returned to ' civvy street ' . The process was not without controversy . Frustration at the allegedly slow pace of release led to a number of disciplinary incidents in all branches of the armed services in the winter of 1945 - 6 , most famously the so - called RAF ' strikes ' in India and South East Asia . Personal challenges . Aside from the institutional problems of release , returning service - men and - women faced all kinds of personal challenges on their return to civilian life . Britain had undergone six years of bombardment and blockade , and there was a shortage of many of the basic essentials of living , including food , clothing , and housing . Husbands and wives also had to adjust to living together again after many years apart . One indicator of the social problems this caused was the postwar divorce rate ; over 60 , 000 applications were processed in 1947 alone , a figure that would not be reached again until the 1960s .

Sabine Ulibarrí Dr . Sabine Reyes Ulibarrí ( September 21 , 1919 – January 4 , 2003 ) was an American poet . He was also a teacher , a writer , a critic , and a statesman . Ulibarrí was born in Tierra Amarilla , New Mexico . Sabine Ulibarrí served his country in World War II with the U . S . Army Air Corps . He was decorated for his valor during the war with two medals , the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal . After the war he continued his studies at the University of New Mexico where he received his Master ' s in Spanish . After teaching for a few years at UNM he enrolled in the University of California , Los Angeles where he worked on his doctorate in Spanish literature . After receiving his doctorate in 1958 from UCLA he returned to the University of New Mexico and taught Spanish and Spanish - American literature until he retired in 1982 . Sabine Ulibarri is known widely for his use of language when crafting his stories , and the use of details of rural New Mexican Spanish and native American life . His stories are considered some of the earliest roots in modern Hispano Literature taking shape both in Spanish and English . His books , Mi Abuela Fumaba Puros ( My Grandmother Smoked Cigars ) ' and ' Mi Caballo Mago ( My Wonder Horse ) ' and ' ' are considered by many native New Mexican writers as quintessential examples of modern Hispanic literature and have inspired countless young Hispanics to become writers and educators . Some argue that Sabine Ulibarri — alongside Rudolfo Anaya — was one of the great thinkers of modern Hispanic literature who was grounded in what would be termed the ' old ways . ' He was able to recollect for younger Hispanos a sense of place and enlighten them with stories of the difficulties of living in Tierra Amarilla , a town which became famous during the Tierra Amarilla Court House raid . It is not known if any of Ulibarri ' s family or friends were involved in such contentious moments in New Mexican history . Sabine Ulibarri could be credited with highlighting the struggle of traditional values versus modern American law and policies such as ' manifest destiny ' and how these concepts began eroding more than 500 years of agricultural and spiritual - based traditional lifestyles of northern New Mexico . He framed the conflict eloquently in his prose without ever digressing into political dissertation . Bibliography .

Battle of the Cremera The Battle of the Cremera was fought between the Roman Republic and the Etruscan city of Veii , in 477 BC ( 276 AUC ) . Historical records show the defeat of the Roman stronghold on the river Cremera , and the consequent incursions of the Veientes in Roman territory . The preserved account of the battle , written by Livy , is an elaboration of the real events , and celebrates the sacrifice of the " gens " Fabia . Probably , its aim is to give a reason of the absence of Fabii from consular lists in the years following the battle . Furthermore , this account is clearly influenced by the Spartan last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae . Background . After a pacific coexistence between Rome and Veii , open war sprung between the close cities , escalating into a battle in 480 BC , in which the Roman army was close to defeat , and saved by consul Kaeso Fabius Vibulanus . After the battle , the Veientes kept on raiding Roman territory , retreating in front of Roman legions to deny them open battle . Engaged in a conflict with Aequi and Volsci , the Romans were fighting on two fronts . Thus , in 479 BC , the gens Fabia offered to deal with Veii on its own , while the Republican legions had to fight against the other enemies . Livy says that all of the 306 adult ( i . e . more than fifteen years old ) Fabii went to the war , together with their clients . The Fabii built a stronghold on the river Cremera , close to Veii , from which they managed to limit Veii raids . The Veientes engaged an open battle near the Roman stronghold , but were defeated by Fabii and a Roman army led by consul Lucius Aemilius Mamercinus , and obliged to ask for a truce . After the truce was broken , the Veientes renewed their raid , but were repeatedly defeated by the Fabii , who , encouraged by the successes , became bold and attacked and pillaged Veii territory . Account of the battle . In the end , however , the Fabii fell in the trap laid by the Veientes . Considering the enemies far from the stronghold , the Romans exited from the stronghold to capture a herd , scattering in pursuit of the animals . In that moment , the outnumbering Veientes exited and surrounded the Fabii . Adopting the wedge formation , the Romans broke through and reached a hill , where they successfully repulsed the Etruscan attacks , until a Veienite formation arrived to their back . All of the Fabii were slaughtered save Quintus Fabius Vibulanus , who was too young to be sent to war . < br >
