When Canadian troops arrived in Great Britain during the Second World War, they were given quarters in old, cold, damp barracks buildings in the military town of Aldershot. For these young men thousands of miles from home, and in many cases away from their families for the first time, it was a depressing experience. Imagine their joy then, when they found their next station in England was not another military camp, but a charming rural village with pubs, girls, dances - and a welcome for them from the local population. All Tanked Up is the story of their benign ‘invasion’ of a Hampshire village over a period of four years, told from the point of view of both Villagers and Canadians. For those to whom ‘Peace in our Time’ came too late.
