'''National service''' is a common name for mandatory or voluntary government service programs (most often focusing on military service). (Compulsory military service is more often known as [[conscription]].) National service was common in the 20th century, and many young people spent one or more years in such programs. Compulsory military service typically requires all citizens, or all male citizens, to participate for a period of a year (more in some countries) during their youth, usually at some point between the age of 18 and their late twenties. |

[[Image:APStBSi.JPG|thumb|left|100px|Plaque in Sise Lane]]'''St Benet Sherehog''', additionally dedicated to St Osyth (Harben), was a mediaeval church built before 1111 (Betjeman 1967, 92) situated at 1 Poultry in [[Cordwainer (ward)|Cornwainer Ward]] in the then wool-dealing district of the [[City of London]] (a ''shere hog'' is a castrated ram after first-shearing). It was one of the 86 churches destroyed in the [[Great Fire of London]](Cobb) and was not selected to be rebuilt when the 1670 Act of Parliament became law(Huelin, 1996). It was united to [[St Stephen Walbrook]] in that year, but continued to be represented by its own churchwarden (Reynolds 1922). In 1685 a church report judged the unification a success(Hallows, 1954). Nearly 200 years later this arrangement was still capable of causing tension (Times, 1843). Some of its parish records survive <ref>[http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/city-ch.html Geneological web site]</ref> and have been collated (Bannerman,1920). Known as the “Lost Church of St Benet” <ref>[http://www.molas.org.uk/downloads/hotc.pdf Details of Dig]</ref> it was excavated between 1994 and 1996 (Miles et al, 2007) before the current [[No 1 Poultry|office]] block was erected. |

The term National Service is still used to describe compulsory military service programs in countries including [[Austria]], [[Mexico]], [[Denmark]], [[Conscription in Germany|Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Israel]], [[Malaysia]], the [[Republic of China]] (Taiwan), [[Russia]], [[Singapore]], [[Military of South Korea|South Korea]], [[Norway]], [[Sweden]], and [[Switzerland]]. |

[[Conscription]] in the [[United Kingdom]] was first introduced in 1916, and occurred from 1916 to 1918 and from 1939 to 1960. After 1948 it became known as National Service - during [[WW I|World Wars One]] and [[WW II|Two]] it was usually known as ''War Service'' (though the act re-introducing it in 1939 was entitled the National Service (Armed Forces) Act). |

National Service was introduced in Singapore in 1967 to meet the critical need of defending [[Singapore]] following independence in 1965 and the anticipated withdrawal of British forces. A conscript system was implemented drawing on elements of the Swiss and Israeli conscription systems. Besides the military, national servicemen also serve in the police and civil defense forces. |

St Benet Sherehog, additionally dedicated to St Osyth (Harben), was a mediaeval church built before 1111 (Betjeman 1967, 92) situated at 1 Poultry in Cornwainer Ward in the then wool-dealing district of the City of London (a shere hog is a castrated ram after first-shearing). It was one of the 86 churches destroyed in the Great Fire of London(Cobb) and was not selected to be rebuilt when the 1670 Act of Parliament became law(Huelin, 1996). It was united to St Stephen Walbrook in that year, but continued to be represented by its own churchwarden (Reynolds 1922). In 1685 a church report judged the unification a success(Hallows, 1954). Nearly 200 years later this arrangement was still capable of causing tension (Times, 1843). Some of its parish records survive [1] and have been collated (Bannerman,1920). Known as the “Lost Church of St Benet” [2] it was excavated between 1994 and 1996 (Miles et al, 2007) before the current office block was erected.
