ABSTRACT
Finally, attempts to unionise (in all but name) military personnel, will probably always remain shrouded in secrecy. Campaigns concerning demobilisation in the Far East during the aftermath of the Second World War may well have resulted in some form of proto-trade union organisation but like earlier organisations set up post 1918 led nowhere in the final analysis! The British Armed Forces Federation established in 2006 may in time emerge as an organisation that can represent military personnel and influence their leadership in a comparable manner to those organisations which exit in other countries such as the Netherlands.
