Title: Home Guard, Wormley and Cheshunt, Herts
Post by: WORMLEY HOME GUARD on Monday 28 January 08 17:44 GMT (UK)

I would like to find any group photographs of the Wormley and Cheshunt Home Guards. My Great Grandfather William Frederick Dear and Great Uncle Percy Dear were in the Wormley Home Guard HTS3. And Great Uncle Walter Dear was in the Cheshunt Home Guard. Attached is photograph of my Great Grand Father William Frederick Dear
