salute the Home Guard

403 Salute the Home Guard In Britain's darkest and finest hour they sprang to arms— that were not there! With shot guns they watched the night sky: then the arms came rifles, grenades, machine guns, forgotten revolvers and sticks and they learned to use them. After the day's work they drilled, practised, studied tactics and now .... an army—mighty to strike. On their day of rest they attack the power station, they defend the mill; they crawl, they patrol, they charge— Come on Jerry if you still feel like it— But remember you will be welcomed on the beaches at the cross-roads at the street corner, everywhere in this island by the biggest toughest citizen army in history! To-day, the Home Guard stands trained, armed, and equipped—another big job to which our savings have contributed.
