Hi
The answer is yes, we certainly did, but the reason you haven't found it is because it was called conscription, military service or national service, not draft. Try here http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/cons
Everyone in the country, male and female, who was considered of suitable age, was called up unless they were in protected occupations such as mining, steelworkers etc who were vital to running the country. Women took over farming, factory work etc to free the men to go to war. The links should help!
