Are you saying that they would have been frontliners by choice? For one they would probably be the biggest cowards! Also that the Kray Twins were deserters from the Army and the Eastend gangster culture was born out of deserters in the 2nd World War who took advantage of the fact most able bodied men were fighting to rob and break into jewellry shops etc as there were very few coppers to protect them.
