Description

Sm. 8vo., Second Edition; blue cloth, backstrip lettered in black, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. With personal bookplate on front paste-down. The second edition is revised and extended, following the stand-down of the Home Guard in December 1945. This is Street's enthusiastic account of the Home Guard from inception to maturity, told through the eyes of the Sedgebury Wallop Platoon in the Wessex region. Due to wartime production constraints all subsequent issues omit the plates present in the first edition. COPIES SIGNED BY THIS AUTHOR ARE VERY SCARCE INDEED. Enser, p.214 (recording the first edition).
