The Home Guard marching in Congleton

Here we are marching along Swan Bank (the Lion & Swan pub/hotel in the background) shortly after the war began. The war started in September, and I turned 17 the following month. I am the end soldier in the third row from the right. I joined the Home Guard when I was 16.
