About this product
Product Information
From the formation of early militias, yeomanry and volunteers the concept of civilians taking arms and organising to defend their homes against insurrection, rebellion or foreign invasion particularly in Ireland's most northerly counties is not new. However it would be the threat faced by the British Isles in 1940 which would see the largest mobilisation of civilian volunteers throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The book is illustrated with a combination of private photographs published for the first time and newspaper images amongst others. Also included is a chapter which examines various German invasion and espionage plans for the island of Ireland and an order of battle for the Ulster Home Guard in 1942, down to Company level. With no previous book exploring the Home Guard in Northern Ireland in this manner Duty without Glory fills a void in Northern Ireland military, local and constabulary history.Product Identifiers
