Memories of Service with the LDV/Home Guard, Mitcham 1940-42
Local History Notes 9: by J B Pritchard
We have all laughed at 'Dad's Army', but behind the mishaps and jokes was a very serious purpose. These notes give a clear, factual account of the formation, arming and training of the Mitcham Home Guard, formed to protect Mitcham against the threatened German invasion or any other hazard. A timely reminder of desperate measures needed in desperate times.
