Can anyone tell me the area covered by the home guard units with a 'WR' shoulder title....?
I suspect it may be Warwickshire...My father was in a reserved occupation but served in two home guard units, one in Yorkshire and one in Coventry.(Warks)..
I already have his cap badge and shoulder titles from Yorkshire and have just come across the other 'WR' badge in amongst some of his old paperwork...Ian
Here he is early in the war..Taken in the back garden of my grandfathers house at Crosshills near Kieghley...He looks a bit young to repel the Germany Army so it was probably for the best he didn't have to....Ian
In that case, is he on here? Skipton Home Guard WR 31 , 32 or 33 all had their HQ at Skipton. But upon enlarging your photo it does (to me) look like his arm badge has a '2' as its first number, the bottom flat looks quite strong? In which case he may well have been with the 27th Keighley Battalion?
