At the time he was a tinsmith so I guess this was an important job at the time. I don't know any more about him and his war effort.<br />CarolxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332392686031711784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-35223359694916123732015-05-14T16:24:03.077+01:002015-05-14T16:24:03.077+01:00We do indeed - thanks for sharing the great story ...We do indeed - thanks for sharing the great story of your parent's romance!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-45235765967541941102015-05-14T12:27:34.289+01:002015-05-14T12:27:34.289+01:00My Dad was in the Home Guard aged 16.

The family included his 14 year old daughter Doris who later became my mum... So in a way I owe my existence to the Home Guard! Dad said that although he probably joined because it was exciting, all of the HG young and old were absolutely determined to defend their community and country to the death if necessary. They risked their lives every night out during the blitz in Liverpool and then went to work the next day as usual.<br />We have a lot to be grateful to them for.su-zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017171836561882439noreply@blogger.com
