     of war, armed conflict or national emergency, so proclaimed by
     the President of the United States, shall have credited to his
     employment record, for pension or retirement benefits, all of
     the time spent by him in such military service during the
     continuance of such war, armed conflict or national emergency if
     such person returns or has heretofore returned to his employment
     within six months after his separation from the service.
