Defending Albion: Britain's Home Army 1908-1919 (Studies in Military and Strategic History (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).)Defending Albion: Britain's Home Army 1908-1919 (Studies in Military and Strategic History (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).)K. W. MitchinsonPart of the propaganda effort conducted by virtually every government at war is to picture the enemy soldiers as blood thirsty heathens raping and pillaging their way through the countries they've invaded. In England during World War I, this worked entirely too well. The people of England decided that they were likely to be invaded and insisted on protection.
The Government knew that any invasion would have to be huge and that the Royal Navy and regular forces would be adequate to resist it. But the public wasn't convinced and the Volunteer Force was created. At a time when the regular army was being greatly expanded, official equipment was in very short supply, the 'Dad's Army' had to make do with whatever was available. Transportation was often by bicycle. Motorcycle units were formed when the soldiers brought their own motorcycles - a spare parts disaster. Those were just part of the problems. This carefully researched book tells the story of these 'forces.' It's the story of an army that never fought.
