Anti Aircraft Corps Dover Kent 1914

In September 1914 after the war had been for about four weeks in progress, and after one or two efforts to form organizations for drilling men had been mooted, it occurred to some patriotic residents of Dover that a town effort in support of the naval and military authorities would be desirable which, while it would in some slight degree be of service to the heads of the fighting forces would also afford an opportunity for many who for various good reasons were unable to enlist. But who were anxious to place their services at the disposal of the Country, to do something for the Crown. His Worship the Mayor, E. W. T. Parley J.P readily placed himself at the head of this movement and a Committee meeting was arranged, for which the patronage of the General Officer Commanding Brigadier-General Crampton, R.A. was sought.
