Description

When Canadian troops arrived in Great Britain right through the Second World War, they got quarters in old, cold, damp barracks buildings within the military town of Aldershot. For these young men thousands of miles from home, and in many cases away from their families for the first time, it used to be a depressing experience. Believe their joy then, after they found their next station in England used to be not every other military camp, but a charming rural village with pubs, girls, dances – and a welcome for them from the local population. All Tanked Up is the tale in their benign ‘invasion’ of a Hampshire village over a period of four years, told from the perspective of both Villagers and Canadians. For those to whom ‘Peace in our Time’ came too late.
