Dad’s Army – Guarding Buckingham Palace. 700524

Marching onto the scene, the Home Guard performs the manual of arms with military precision. Or as much of it as they can. Being briefed on the nuances between guarding the palace between war time and peace time, tactics are discussed regarding dropping hot, boiling water on the enemy… or was that hot, boiling oil… It was one of those old timey siege tactics to be sure.

What’s to stop an infiltrator from disguising themselves as one of the royal personages? Strategies are discussed in case the palace is overwhelmed. Has everything been covered, so as to not make a shambles of the drill when the air raid sirens sound?
