Britan's Home Guard

When the history of the present war comes to be written the Home Guard will deserve at least a separate chapter. It may deserve very much more if it should have been actively engaged in military operations; but it will not be so engaged, according to present arrangements, unless the Germans should effect a landing in Great Britain. That, at the time of writing, seems highly improbable. "Here in London," said Mr Churchill, "we are still waiting for the long promised invasion. So are the fishes."
