We are serious in our representation of the Home Guard, but at the same time, we do this because we enjoy it. Our organisation is relaxed: there is no hierarchical organisation or parade ground bull. We are not a skirmishing battlegroup as the Home Guard never engaged the enemy in infantry battle, but mainly because we feel we can get our message over to the public better via mainly static displays.
Are you interested in the Home Guard
If you wish to join then we will let you know which events we will be displaying at and you just turn up. We mainly attend Leicestershire county events as this is our representative area. All we ask is that you assemble the correct uniform and kit (we can advise you on this, although if you would like to know more about the Leicestershire Home Guard's background and uniform detail read "To The Last Round: The Leicestershire & Rutland Home Guard 1940-1945", Breedon Books, 2007 - we stock it). We can also advise the public and media on Home Guard matters.
