Henry Wills (born 1930) was a British journalist and photographer with a passion for local history and archaeology.
He is best remembered for his writings on British anti-invasion preparations of the Second World War, his most often cited work being Pillboxes: A Study of U.K. Defences, 1940.
After some further investigation and some publicity on radio and in newspapers, he planned and organised the first nationwide survey of Britain's WW2 defences.
Wills' work stimulated the interest of many enthusiasts and academics including local historians and former soldiers.
Their interest was given further impetus by the realisation that these under-appreciated remains were disappearing at an alarming rate – mostly because of demolition to make way for new developments.
