HOME GUARD'S VALUE
TO DEFEAT INVASION
British Official Wireless. Rec. 5 p.m. RUGBY, July IS. Addressing Home Guards, the Financial Secretary to the War Office said: "1 think there is a lesson that has been thoroughly learned from Crete and that is the immense value of a Home Guard in an invasion. If there had been a few battalions of the Home Guard in Crete to assist the regular army there I have no doubt that the result would have been very different. Ido not think it possible to over-estimate the value of the support which the Home Guard can bring to the army in the event of an air force invasion similar to that of Crete."
