1911 INTRODUCTION OF NATIONAL INSURANCE

1946 WHOE - may be World Health Organisation Established - not officially till 1948 but the meeting at which it was agreed was in 1946. If you've nothing better go for that.

1955 Last woman in Britain to be hanged
1957 Treaty of Rome signed
1960 First episode of Coronation Street
1962 First James Bond Movie

and I think in the one Jimbo got it's probably "issues" instead of "initiates"
