AA Home Guard
AA home guard patrolman photograph, note the holster and HOME GUARD arm patch. Obtained this photograph along with a pre-war AA patrolmans cap badge and thought it may be of interest.

Nice - and never has road side assistance looked so threatening.
It's good to know that he's keeping people from coming East out my way.

What can you tell me about this AA badge please. I found it at a toy fair in Maidstone, Kent many years ago.

Jerry, Done a quick google and came up with an auction item. The image is no longer their so cannot compare though it does describe the auction lot as a lapel badge. Might be a similar design though the description seems to cover who used it.
Cheers Dave H&H Auctioneers Lot 80 (Automobilia Auction Online, 8th September 2019) AA Automobile Association WWI Voluntary Service Lapel Badge As issued to members of the AA voluntary service corps; members of the public would volunteer to help the AA in World War I, driving their vehicles in aid of the war effort. Manufactured from patinated brass. Good condition and very unusual. Sold for £28 (including buyers premium)

I believe these are modern fakes, there seems to be an interesting story with the AA in wartime but I can only find bits of information, something about them forming a Military Cyclist unit in WW1 and numbers being drafted into the Corps of Military Police in WW2 for traffic control duties. I wonder if there is a good book on the subject?
