Harvest
“During the previous evening and into the small hours he had had some ‘business’ to attend to of a personal nature.
Now he was wide awake and had very deliberately decided to hold some hearings in the small hours concerning members of his staff and units who had infringed rules in some way. It pleased him to have them hauled from their iron bunks and brought before two fellow officers and himself.
His command headquarters for the invasion of Brum were located in a small area of scrubland... beneath the Warwick Road Bridge in Coventry.
The spot had been carefully chosen for its advantages in directing a railway-based campaign. It was adjacent to the London–Birmingham railway line, with the north–south Tamworth line joining from the north to form a junction a few yards in one direction, while a fourth main line, coming up from Warwick to the south, formed another junction not far the other way.
In addition, sitting very conveniently between these major junctions to the east was Coventry’s mainline railway station.MoreLess
