The True Story of the Home Guard

In May 1940, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill recognized the need for middle-aged men to contribute to the nation's defense, leading to the formation of the Local Defence Volunteers, as announced by Anthony Eden. Within a day, over a quarter of a million men stepped forward to serve their country, resulting in the proud establishment of the Home Guard by the end of July. This audiobook features compelling narratives from Ronald Quartington, Keith Chisman, John Smythe, and James Roffey, shedding light on this pivotal moment in history.
