Home Guard Badges
Back in 2001 I and fellow collector Terry Carney wrote a book on Home Guard insignia entitled In the Space of a Single Day. Ignoring the c..p reprint of 2008 (for which I was not responsible) it has not been reprinted since.
I am now planning an updated version which will include a large number of badges which have surfaced in the last 19 years. Amongst the new information will be images of all the county letters worn by the Home Guard - sample attached - but some are proving elusive. If you have examples of the following letters a scan would be appreciated;
A, BNF, CA, F&D, INV, ORK, R-L, SU, WNM.
I am also looking for examples of early local semi-official badges - including armbands - and detailed photos like the attached of HG badges being worn.
I am in the process of putting together a list of items known about but not so far discovered and will supply a copy to anyone interested.
Please PM me if you are able to help.
Jon
