Defence of Houses is one of a series of Home Guard training manuals written by Colonel G. A. Wade in 1942, when the threat of German invasion remained a serious concern. This handbook explains how ordinary houses could be assessed and adapted for defence, considering their strength, cellars, surroundings and suitability for all-round protection. With practical advice and illustrations, it offers an intriguing insight into the methods taught to Britain's wartime volunteers. Think: is it strong? Has it a cellar? Are its surrounding suitable? Is it capable of all-round defence? Make your defences so good and so cunning that when the enemy begins to attack you can heave a sigh of relief and say, 'He's going to ask for it, and he will get it!' Colonel G. A. Wade was a British soldier and author who wrote a series of training manuals for the British Home Guard in the expectation of a German invasion. The series was originally published by Gale & Polden.
