EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Curious Sight: Home Guard at St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, 1970s" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of men clad in curious uniforms stand at the foot of St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, England. The men, identified as members of the Home Guard, were a part of the local defense force during the mid-20th century. Their unusual attire, featuring caps adorned with the St Michael's Mount insignia and knee-length skirts, adds an intriguing historical element to the scene. St Michael's Mount, a small tidal island located in Mount's Bay, has been a popular tourist destination for centuries. Its imposing Georgian-style castle, perched atop the island, has stood guard over the Cornish coast since the 12th century. The castle's rich history and picturesque architecture have drawn visitors from all corners of the world. The Home Guard, also known as the Local Defence Volunteers, was formed in 1940 as a response to the threat of a German invasion during World War II. The men in this photograph, with their determined expressions and protective gear, embody the spirit of resilience and patriotism that characterized the Home Guard during this time. Despite the 1970s setting of the photograph, the men's uniforms bear a striking resemblance to those worn by earlier Home Guard units. The skirts, a practical yet curious design, were intended to provide freedom of movement while also offering some protection against the elements. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era, capturing both the historical significance of St Michael's Mount and the dedication of the Home Guard during a time of uncertainty and fear. The curious uniforms, coupled with the iconic architecture of the castle, make for a striking and unforgettable image.
