Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 17 August 2007
 
Dad’s Army and truths of the war

• WITH respect to the Review piece (Explosive Truths of the War, August 3). My future brother in law was a highly skilled toolmaker and engineer in World War Two exempt from army through his work but like most of us was called to Civil Defence.
I manned telephones in the Town Hall at the same time working full time on war work.
He was directed to LDV Dad’s Army as a “gunner” on Hampstead Heath.
He would never watch ‘Dad’s Army’. He regarded it as an insult to him and his squad.
