Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Beans as bullets', 'Vegetables for Victory' and 'Cloches against Hitler': these slogans convey just how vital gardening and growing food were to the British war effort during the Second World War. Exhorted to 'Grow More Food', then to 'Dig for Victory', Britain's 'allotment army' was soon out in force, growing as many vegetables as possible in suburban allotments, private gardens, even the grounds of stately homes. Richly illustrated with contemporary photographs and ephemera relating to the 'Dig For Victory' campaign, this expertly researched, highly engaging and informative account also includes archive images of home front gardening, garden produce and advertisements.

The assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 proved to be the spark that ignited World War I (June, 1914 - November, 1918). Known as 'The Great War', it quickly came to involve all the great powers of Europe and eventually most countries of the world. Sixty-five million troops were mobilized, over eight million of whom were killed and twenty million wounded in the ferocious fighting which ensued. This six volume series was reprinted from the original data amassed by worldwide correspondents from the battlefield as the war was being fought. These reporters, mostly civilians working for newspapers, gathered both eyewitness accounts and testimonies from soldiers participating in events that were then relayed to the public in "War Chronicles". Using this extensive data, together with very detailed regimental records, H.W. Wilson's 'History of the Great War' was compiled. Herbert Wrigley Wilson (1866 - 12 July 1940), known often only as H. W. Wilson, was a British journalist and naval historian. He was the eldest son of the Reverend George Edwin Wilson (Vicar of St. John's, Huddersfield, in West Yorkshire, and later of Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire) and, like three of his five brothers, became a journalist. According to the memoirs of his brother G. H. Wilson, editor of the Cape Times, H. W. Wilson was "chief leader writer" and assistant editor of the Daily Mail from 1898 until his death during 1940. According to the newspaper's owner, Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe, Wilson was the "mental backbone of the newspaper". From 1914 to 1919, Wilson was joint editor with John Alexander Hammerton of the periodical The Great War:The Standard History of the All-Europe Conflict, published by the Amalgamated Press. The first volume was largely concerned with justifying Britain's entry into the war, and with encouraging the British people to sign up and fight. In its entirety, it ran to 13 volumes. Other than his newspaper work, Wilson was also co-author, with William Le Queux, of a novel named The Invasion of 1910 (1906), and was the author of numerous books about naval and military history. (Wikipedia) Sir John Alexander Hammerton (born 27 February 1871 in Alexandria, Scotland; died 12 May 1949 in London) is described by the Dictionary of National Biography as "the most successful creator of large-scale works of reference that Britain has known".
