Old Bill and Co. August 1940
" Hey! Mind what yer doin ! Thats the second time you ve got me with that fifth column o yours!"
Bruce Bairnsfather pokes fun at rumours of German spies, as well as the bungling reputation of the Home Guard. Note that the armbands have LDV written on them: the Local Defence Volunteers were officially renamed the Home Guard in July 1940, but the old armbands remained in circulation long after.
