Sport was an important occupation for the occupation force. This was a medal awarded to the winners of a tug of war competition / THE FASCINATING STORY of how British armies in Germany after the First World War tried and failed to prevent the feelings of discontent which led to the rise of Hitler has been told in a new book. Images from the book ???The British Army of the Rhine after the First World War??? by Michael Foley show British troops crossing the Rhine as they prepare to establish their section of the occupation area in Cologne, while others show the German ???Brown Shirts??? stood in formation shirtless after being banned from wearing the uniform by the Treaty of Versailles. And in another photo a fresh young Winston Churchill, then the newly appointed Secretary of State for War, arriving to inspect British troops during the occupation of Cologne / Fonthill Media / mediadrumworld.com
