Road Blocks: Home Guard Training Series

By Colonel G.A. Wade

A road block is a tiny batt lefi eld. Here, all the principles of strategy and tactics apply - just as much as when whole armies meet in the f i eld. It is a challenge thrown down by the free world to Hitler and his hordes. A road block is a gesture of defi ance that says, 'Beyond this, you shall not come'. Lie doggo. Hit hard. And clear out Road Blocks is one of a series of training books writt en in 1942 by Colonel G. A. Wade for the newly-recruited Home Guard. This reproduction from the Royal Armouries' archive shows how the Second World War trainees learnt to set up and defend road blocks amidst the threat of enemy invasion.
