The Fouling of the Ranks

"I hope that future historians will chronicle the part played in the Battle of Britain by London taxi-drivers, who constantly braved death by day and by night..." So Wrote Vera Brittain during the Blitz; now, after eighty years this long forgotten period of London taxi driver history is finally told for the first time. This is their story, told for the first time, of how they lived, worked and died throughout the greatest conflict mankind ever endured. Sean Farrell was a London taxi driver for thirty-six years. He no longer pushes a cab but is still very much interested in the London cab trade's rich history.
