Home Guard- Nation Archives

[lennon2011]

Hi, I'm not sure if I've put this in the correct place but I do apologise if that's the case.

Has anyone ever downloaded a Home Guard file from the National Archives?

I ordered my Granddad's on the 22nd and it still seems to be in the download stage, is that normal because of the size of the file or is there an error somewhere?

Is it Durham Home Guard? It should download straight away after you've made the payment. I'd contact them, if I were you

[lennon2011]

It is and I have contacted without much luck getting through to them. I think I shall do so again, thank you Ann.

I thought you might like as update, the records arrived today. Only 2 pages but they still provided some form of information.

Oh they are. Lance Corporal Albert Phillips was a Furnace Man by trade who joined up for the Home Guard on 10th April 1942
