Home Guard
Can you recognise anyone on these photos? (Copyright Peckham’s of Stroud)





Thanks to Maureen Arthur for the picture. Does anyone have an original copy?

“We lived in Kingscourt Lane & I think the Home Guard local H.Q. was based in Woodchester – exercises took place in Woodchester Park.
On the Home Guard photo my Dad (Evan Hogg) is wearing a stretcher-bearer’s armband & seated on the ground front right. He was a big, strong man but deemed unfit for military service owing to varicose veins and a badly ulcerated ankle which had been caused by the kickstart on his motorbike backfiring.
