Meanwhile the docks at Workington, Maryport and Millom were used to transport locally mined iron, limestone and coal. The geography of the county also made it suitable for munitions factories and the training of men and women for all three services. Civilians too played a vital part especially in the defense of the area when invasion by the enemy via Southern Ireland was thought a possibility. The Home Guard, Royal Observer Corps, ARPs, Firefighters, Salvation Army, Land Army, Timber Corps and Secret Special Units all contributed their bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Freethy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846741580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846741586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Countryside Books (GB)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 37","brand":"Ron Freethy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097080701183,"sku":"9781846741586","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cumbria-at-war-1939-1945-ron-freethy-9781846741586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
