Description

This is a pic of my Dad a year before I was born. It was taken in August 1940 and is a pic of him in his Home Guard uniform (Dads Army). He was 39 years old at this time and I post it in remembrance of all who fought in the wars. He died in 1978 aged 77 years.

Great memories. That rifle looks like the ones issued to us in the Army Cadet Corps in the '50s: 1914 model! (But they worked ...)

A fine picture of an upstanding gentleman Jeff. Also a nice reminder that those that were not able to serve in front line units still did their bit for the people of this country. Thanks for sharing this with us and be proud mate :)

This picture brings both happy and sad feelings for me. Happy for you and your family herritage, and sadness because all my copies of pictures like this from my family were stolen. I couldn't post the image of my dad.
