EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1940, Sir Edward Grigg, Under-Secretary of State for War, is seen officially opening a new training school for the Home Guard. The image captures the spirit of determination and resilience that defined the Home Guard during the early years of World War II. Sir Edward Grigg, a distinguished British statesman and diplomat, stands proudly before a large crowd of eager trainees, all dressed in their Home Guard uniforms. The atmosphere is one of focused intensity, as the men listen intently to the Under-Secretary's words. The backdrop of the photograph is a large, imposing building, which serves as the new training school for these volunteers. The Home Guard, also known as the Local Defence Volunteers (LDV), was formed in May 1940, in response to the threat of a German invasion of the United Kingdom. The organization was intended to provide an additional defensive force to supplement the regular military. With the country under threat, these ordinary citizens were called upon to serve their country in an extraordinary time. The opening of this new training school marked an important milestone in the development of the Home Guard. The trainees, who hailed from all walks of life, were eager to learn the skills necessary to protect their communities and their country. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the Home Guard during the dark days of World War II. This image, taken in 1940, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Home Guard and the spirit of unity and resilience that defined the British people during this time. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the British people, who, in the face of adversity, came together to defend their country and their way of life.
