Trustees of the Royal Armouries Defence of Villages and Small Towns

We are not dealing with the remote future. The Huns are coming. Will they drop from the skies and surround the village? Will sounds of battle will be heard in the far distance? Or will their armoured fighting vehicles will come careering across the landscape? When they come, your village must be ready. Defence of Villages and Small Towns is one of a series of training books written in 1942 by Colonel G. A. Wade 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. Autorid: Colonel G a Wade
