A Bunny of Sorts

On the somewhat SERIOUS lines of fanfic:

Something that bothers me late at night is the thought of the time period J and W live in. Pretty soon the depression hits in the US, and I know England didn't suffer nearly as hard, but I wonder how they got by with that? And then of course, the scariest thing is WWII!! (and my knowledge of London life during this time is really limited to what I remember from high school history. Which isn't much.)

I mean, did Wooster have the money to avoid the military? Or did Jeeves for that matter? Or did Jeeves manage to get them both out of it? *fret fret* I'm pretty sure there's ample slash opportunities either way.

>_> These things keep me up at night. LOL, it doesn't make a very good plot bunny for me, but I figured I'd post these disturbing ideas here, in case someone else gets a bite.

I think waaaaaaaaaay to much into historical fiction and real history.

Do you remember which book, or what tv episode he said that in? That's interesting.

If I were home, I could find out in about two seconds. Alas, I've Googled my brains out and can't find out here. I'll have a look tonight.

Got it. Ring for Jeeves, p. 141 of the Overlook edition. Jeeves and Bill Belfry, Ninth Earl of Rowcester:

"Were you in the First World War, Jeeves?"
"I dabbled in it to a certain extent, m'lord."
"I missed that one because I wasn't born, but I was in the Commandos in this last one. This is rather like waiting for zero hour, isn't it?"
"The sensation is not dissimilar, m'lord."
