20th Century Defences In Britain-2nd Edition

[chizyramone]

Well? What'cha reckon then?

I know,quite a few references to sites in Pembrokeshire.

There's a reference to a site on the street where I grew up (sadly now demolished to make way for a housing estate access road-bummer). Very close to the very best chip shop in Milford Haven!!!

Bargain !!!!

Its a good little book to add to my growing collection.

I've just been having another decko at it. It's really good...excellent amount of info, and great for filling out hugmungous gaps in my knowledge.

I noticed the amount of Pembrokeshire sites.

Bum, only just noticed this and now they are all gone

I've looked at it and I don't think it is that impressive ,i t is a quick glossary of every thing and only mentions the stoplines. Hardly worth the money. The one I was told to get out of the library is 150 quid in the shop Colin Alexander's 'Ironside's Line'

In fairness though, it was only designed as a practical handbook for interested archaeologists.

Well that saved me a tenner then. Ironsides line only covers the GHQ line running North from London I believe?

Its not a guide for locations etc, but will still be handy as its got alot of info about the layout of various types of defences, and some good picture, its like a larger more detailed version of another book ( British Anti Invasion Defences 1940 - 1945) but thats just in my opinion

I agree. I have another, much older book, about military archeology, and the "20th Century" book is much more comprehensive. A very good reference book for identifying stuff and info about it.
