' The West Country ' by Douglas Cleverdon and Felix Felton
This is not the first time that the West Country has been the outpost of England. It has seen the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the crushing of the Monmouth Rebellion, the failure of Napoleon's intended invasion.
Now, when the enemy threatens it again, we remember all that it stands for-the heroic deeds of Drake and Sir Richard Grenville , perhaps, and the old Arthurian legends of Tintagel and Glastonbury ; and we may recall that the last battle to be fought on English soil was fought in the West Country.
