Default Home Front Cloth Insignia
Back in 2009 I produced for the Military Heraldry Society a Special Edition of its Journal covering the badges of the numerous uniformed organisations which served on the Home Front - from the Civil Defence Services to the Land Army, the River Emergency Service to the Civilian Technical Corps, the Fire Services to the Scouts and Guides.

I have now decided to reproduce a copy under my Island Fortress series, the 16 pages of which explain the role of the organisations and illustrate some 135 related badges. In addition a centre spread features some 100 Home Front armbands, now much sought after.

To try and establish a sensible print run would any member interested in a copy please PM me. The 16 full colour pages - samples attached - cost £10 inc UK postage - overseas post to be advised per destination.

Comments/questions welcome.

Jon

My thanks to all who have posted or PM'd. Requests noted.

I should have the copies to hand by the end of next week when I will check overseas postage rates and advise total cost.

Jon.

Just received the copies which look good.

If you have already expressed interest please PM me with your address and I will supply details of my Paypal account. I can only post once a week so please bear with me and I will let you know when posted. I will advise overseas postage cost asap.

Any questions please shout.

Jon
