Sorry about that! As for why they haven't been called up in my story and why I felt it not likely, it's due to their probable age. If Bertie was in his 20s in the 1920s then by 1938, he'd be at least 35. Jeeves' age is pretty much an unknown but most people do not believe he is younger than Bertie. So making Jeeves as young as is likely, one would make Jeeves' age around Bertie's which would make him beyond the typical call up age, also. If older than Bertie by even as little as 5 years, he would not be likely to be called up. If Bertie was 42 in 1942 then it's likely that he would never be called up. I used the list/info. I sent you to determine whether they'd get called up. By the time my story reaches the year where there is a possibility of them being called, I'll have them out of the Home Guard and doing vital work that will prevent their being called up. I think where I'm putting them at is the best place they could be for England's sake and very likely what would have happened.
