‘It is extraordinary how reluctant the British soldier is to show
cunning. We try to play the game of war as if it had rules for fair
play like cricket and football.’ ‘If you want to make your
spell of duty pass quickly, concentrate on prowling properly.’
‘By Jove, look! There is a suspicious-looking man creeping under
those bushes. It will be heaven help that rough chap if he makes a
break!’ First published in the 1940s for the newly-recruited
British Home Guard, The Art of Prowling showed recruits how to
sneak up on the enemy without being seen, how to avoid attracting
attention, and why they should never underestimate a German spy.
Will you be awarded the Good Prowler’s Badge?
Do you know that house-to-house fighting is the finest sport on
earth? Do you know that is it just the sort of close-quarter
scrapping the British excel in? Do you know that once you get going
you will love it? Do you want to come with me down our street and
play hell with some bloody Huns? You do? Right, we'll carry on!
House to House Fighting 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 Second World War trainees learnt to defend themselves amidst
the threat of enemy invasion.
