The Home Guard - David Carroll |
|
| In this book the images recall
the activities of the Home Guard also known as 'Dad's Army'. The book
draws on the early days of the Local Defence Volunteers from the moment
when Anthony Eden broadcast an appeal, to the official stand-down
of the Home Guard in 1944. This title evokes memories of World War
II in a domestic setting and asserts life on the Home Front from the
perspective of those left behind to defend it. |
