In the present document, Churchill expresses his opinion as to how the nation could be defended in the event of an attack: ‘…the tunnel should be brought to the surface of the sea not less than a quarter of a mile from the shore and the railway should run from the tunnel mouth to the shore on a bridge…’, an interesting item in A/G condition overall
