  • More about Art of Prowling

The Art of Prowling is one of a series of training booklets written by Colonel G. A. Wade for the newly-recruited Home Guard. This reproduction by the Royal Armouries shows how trainees during the Second World War learned to sneak up on the enemy without being seen.

Format: Hardback
Length: 40 pages
Publication date: 15 May 2019
Publisher: Trustees of the Royal Armouries


The British soldier's reluctance to employ cunning is truly remarkable. We approach the game of war as if it were governed by the same fair play rules as cricket or football. If one desires to make their time of duty pass swiftly, it is essential to focus on prowling effectively.

Observe! There appears to be a suspicious-looking individual lurking beneath those bushes. It would be a grave misfortune for that rugged chap if he attempted to make a break!

This invaluable guide, originally published in the 1940s for the newly enlisted British Home Guard, aimed to impart essential skills to recruits. It taught them the art of stealthily approaching the enemy, avoiding detection, and why they should never underestimate the threat posed by German spies. The question remains: Will you earn the prestigious Good Prowlers Badge?
