I am doing research into Lt Col Alfred George deQuervain Colley, I/C 39th Warwickshire HG. He was Managing Director of Parkinson Stoves, Stechford. Did they have their own Battalion HG? And does anyone know of the 'secret war work' Parkinson Stoves carried out with Major Arcedekne-Butler, ex Royal Signals? Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?! Many thanks. 30 May 2010 - East Sussex

I've been reenacting 7th Bn Black Watch, I am now a little long in the tooth. I am considering pensioning myself off, but want to continue in the Home Guard. Probably Perthshire for obvious reasons. May I assume that the information in this site would be applicable to a Scottish Home Guard Unit? My compliments to you. This is a terrific website. 28 May 2010 - New Hampshire, USA Webmaster comments   Welcome, Chip, and good luck with your transfer to home defence.

Could anybody please help me? I am the son-in-law of L/Cpl Brian Edward Boyle Thompson, D Company 19th Battalion Heathfield Sussex Home Guard. Brian passed away some time ago. I have found some old photos of the Officers and men of this Unit. The photos were taken by H C Deal South Street Eastbourne 1944. Could anybody please put me on the right path to find out the history of this Battalion. I would be more than willing to copy the photos and pass onto anyone.If there is any one out there who could come back to me on e-mail I would be very grateful. 10 February 2010 - Worthing West Sussex England.

I am researching the Worcestershire Constabulary between 1839 and 1967. The war period is a particularly interesting time and I am keen to learn from anyone who has information about the police activities in the county during the hostilities. If you can help in any way I would be pleased to hear from you. Photos are particularly welcome. Thanks Bob 26 December 2009 - Pershore, Worcestershire Webmaster comments   Can anyone help Bob?

Dear all I am currently in the research stage for a dissertation which centres around the Home Guard and how it is represented in current and past media, Dad's Army being a perfect example. As part of this I am looking for living people who have served in the Home Guard. I appreciate that any such people will have been too young to serve in the regular army at that time and may have spent some time in the Home Guard as a result. I would appreciate any help, including any direction that anybody could provide. Regards Wayne 30 October 2009 - Northants Webmaster comments   Let's hope that an ex-Home Guard who looks at this Guestbook will be able to help Wayne.

My grandfather Charles Henry Moore was a member of the Home Guard. He was killed 30/9/1940 while on duty, and I believe was the first Home Guard to be killed in the war. Is there any information to support this claim? Thank You 15 July 2009 - Florida USA Webmaster comments   Sorry for the delay in the appearance of this message, Lesley. Shall contact you direct.

Section Leader Alfred Henry George BRUNGES and Patrol Leader Charles William Lovelace TOZER were awarded the George Medal for their work during an air raid on 26th October 1940. My mother who lived in Lozells, told me about this air raid. She was in the Villa Cross Picture House on this night. When the sirens sounded some people went to shelters at the Cinema but some went to the shelters across the road that were later flooded. Luckily for her she ran along the Lozells Road and home ducking into the shop doorways as she went. She told me that a great many people lost their lives that night. 3 May 2009 - Birmingham Webmaster comments   Thanks for that memory, Julie.

Just to let you know that today (19/3/09) my wife Brenda (nee Duffett) found a photograph of her father Don Duffett on your website in the section related to the Crabbs Cross Redditch Home Guard (Second World War). Sadly he died on 25/12/2003 aged 83. His wife and 3 married children still live in Redditch. A fantastic website. Well Done!!! 19 March 2009 - I live in Hunt End, Redditch, Worcs.
