Useless Mouths: Gibraltarians at War (Richard JM Garcia MBE)

Available for pre-order

This book delves into the impact of the Second World War on Gibraltar’s civilian population and the lasting effects the conflict had on the community. Richard explores the preparations for war, evacuation, and the experiences of Gibraltarians during one of the most significant periods in the Rock’s history.
The phrase "useless mouths" refers to civilians such as women and children who were viewed by the military authorities as consumers of food and resourses without contributing to active military defence.
