HOME GUARD TRAINING SERIES: THE DEFENCE OF VILLAGES (HB)

We are not dealing with the remote future. Will sounds of battle will be heard in the far distance? Or will armoured fighting vehicles will come careering across the landscape? When they come, your village must be ready. One of a series of training books written in 1942 for the newly recruited Home Guard. This reproduction from the Royal Armouries’ archive shows how the Second World War trainees learnt to defend rural villages and small towns from the threat of enemy invasion.
