The Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard Training Manual by Captain George Mainwaring

'Bliss on Toast', the perfect Christmas gift
Arguably wittier than the original series, it is carefully designed to give that shabby, wartime look and contains the martial thoughts of Captain Mainwaring and his lads, with sarky comments in red ink by the sardonic Sergeant WilsonThe essential guide to turning signposts round, removing manhole covers and communicating with deaf Home Guard members at a distance (try semaphore - but not if its's dark). * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
DAD'S ARMY remains timelessly popular; it was Perry and Croft's great genius to create a vision of the English as they like to see themselves * THE ULTIMATE TV GUIDE *
Captain George Mainwaring served as a platoon commander in the army of occupation in France in 1919, was platoon commander of the Home Guard 1939-45, manager of Swallow Bank, as well as a magistrate, alderman and secretary of the Rotary Club, Walmington-on-Sea. With the help of Guy Adams, he wrote the two editions of RULES OF MODERN POLICING, under the guidance of David Croft and Jimmy Perry, the creators and writers of DAD'S ARMY.
