“We lived in Kingscourt Lane & I think the Home Guard local H.Q. was based in Woodchester – exercises took place in Woodchester Park.
On the Home Guard photo my Dad (Evan Hogg) is wearing a stretcher-bearer’s armband & seated on the ground front right. He was a big, strong man but deemed unfit for military service owing to varicose veins and a badly ulcerated ankle which had been caused by the kickstart on his motorbike backfiring.
