Has anyone collected the Home Guard's more alarming improvised defence ideas in a book?
Short answerNo equivalent book was identified. A joint book project remained unwritten, and Gordon Corrigan's First World War work was recommended for background.
NotesAlex Clarke and Drachinifel had considered writing a book on the Home Guard's improvised defence ideas but had not completed it or found an existing equivalent. That is a statement about their reading, not proof that no such book exists. Gordon Corrigan's Mud, Blood and Poppycock is a recommendation for First World War context. Corrigan is also suggested as an author who could do justice to the veterans behind the Home Guard, though whether he had written on that subject was uncertain.
