During the Second World War, Wiltshire was one of the most militarised counties in the country and it is easy to understand why, when you consider that the whole of Salisbury Plain, the Army's premier training ground, lies within its boundaries. It was also here that weapons were developed, tactics were tried and tested, and operations planned and mounted. British, Commonwealth and American troops all made use of the varied facilities. In this book Henry Buckton travels around the county visiting places that have a particular association with the war effort.
