About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Soon after Neville Chamberlain's sad voice announced to the nation on Sunday 3 September 1939 that war had been declared on Nazi Germany, units of the Territorial army began taking up their wartime postions. They were soon followed by thousands of conscripts, the first in British military history. It was not long before the men and women of the armed forces stationed in south-east England, together with the civilian inhabitants, found themselves in the most action-packed corner of the British Isles--Hellfire Corner."
"The book records the momentous events of six years of war in south-east England as seen through the eyes of those who served in the Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, WRNS, WAAF, ATS, and the civilian population. It is the experiences of these men and women that are recorded in the pages that follow."
