‘Come if ye Dare’ is the title of a book published by The Civil Defence Association. The book features the stories of each gallant act of the 11 brave World War 2 Civil Defenders who were awarded the George Cross. It has been written by CDA member Terry Hissey and is based on his research at The National Archives at Kew, museums, libraries and archives in several parts of the country, as well as receiving support from relatives of many of the recipients.
The title ‘Come if ye Dare’ was chosen not least because it is also the title of The March of the Civil Defence Services which was rediscovered by the author in 2005.
