The enduring popularity of the BBC TV series Dad's Army has focused
attention on one of the strangest and least military armies ever
formed - the British Home Guard. What started as an improvised band
of volunteers had grown by 1942 into a conscripted, disciplined and
well-equipped force with a strength of nearly two million men.
Norman Longmate, himself a Home Guard veteran and an authority on
wartime Britain, has collected together a wealth of hilarious
anecdotes as well as all the unlikely facts to produce the first
popular history of the Home Guard to be written since the war.
Longmate, ex-Private 'F' Company, 3rd Sussex Battalion, Home Guard,
joined 'Dad's Army' at the same age as the fictional character
'Pike', and to this day he contends that the much-loved sitcom was
remarkably accurate in its portrayal of life in the Home Guard.
