For many a long year past Aldershot had existed for the Army. Latterly it had been the forge where Britain's little striking force, the spear-head of her armies, had been welded, sharpened and tested, made ready for instant launching.

True, it now became increasingly difficult to find rooms in the town, and the local outfitters promptly set to work to reap a golden harvest from the fantastic prices which they put upon war gear of all kinds, but that was all - at least to the eye of a casual observer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the Publisher \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
