BRITISH DEFENCES
RELIANCE NOT ON WIRE AND CONCRETE AVIATION & OTHER UNITS. MANNED BY VOLUNTEERS. (British Official Wireless.; RUGBY. January 19. General Sir Walter Kirke, in a speech, said Britain’s Maginot Line was not an affair of dugouts, wire and concrete. It was formed by the fighting aircraft, searchlights, guns and balloons of the coast and air defences of Britain, manned mostly by volunteers, the Territorial Army, and the auxiliary air force.
He believed that if trial should come British people would face it with the cheerful and uncomplaining bulldog courage they had displayed in the past.
