Hi!
With the British Isles under threat of invasion, the government called for a force of 500,000 men who would otherwise be ineligible for wartime service to join 'Local Defence Volunteers.' Over 250,000 volunteered the first week. Many were veterans of the Great War. Armed with improvised or obsolete weapons, including several thousand ad hoc armored cars, the LDV performed civil defense, anti-aircraft, and beach defense duties. In time, the LDV became the Home Guard, 1.5 million strong.
As always, feedback and comments are welcome.
Here is the code:
