I am hoping this forum will help me with my local history research.

As the title suggest I am interested in the Newcastle Home Guard 1940-44

The results of this research can be seen on my website

http://www.ccoynblhomeguard.co.uk/Newcastle%20Battalions.html

If you knew anyone who served, or have documents or photographs, or recognise anyone in the

photographs on the website, I would love to hear from you.
