Description: Blandford Press,, [1946]. Sm. 8vo., Second Edition, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper; blue cloth, backstrip lettered in black, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter with minor loss (just affecting lettering) at head of backstrip and front panel.

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. ALL EARLY ISSUES ARE SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.214 (recording the first edition).
