Trying something new on the YouTube Channel. I had the pleasure of being joined by the wonderful Taff Gillingham of @greatwarhuts.bsky.social
Taff joined me to discuss the up and coming myth 'The Home Guard were full of First World War Veterans'.

Another gem for you all from the GWH Collection:
This is the scrapbook of Captain Kyrle Ffrench, Special Reserve, attached to the South Wales Borderers.
Kyrle kept all sorts of paperwork and ephemera including press cuttings, postcards, pages from army notebooks…

A slight problem here, - the particular official British "On War Service Badge" shown in the OP was never issued to any workman during WW1. >cont>
