Llandyssil Home Guard (Montgomeryshire) after a Church Parade at Llandyssil Parish Church

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  • Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
    In the event of a German invasion it was a requirement to ring the church bells. The Llandyssil, Montgomeryshire, Home Guard got the opportunity to practice their rapid response when the church bells were rung inadvertently in September 1940. This caused great alarm that day as church bells in nearby villages followed the example.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The British Home Guard and Civil Defense: WWII, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Oddly enough these guys do look like the cast of Dads Army, Particularly the bloke on the far left.

    Can you imagine this lot taking on a German parachute division had they ever actually arrived?
