Gloucestershire / Re: Knowle, Bristol - Redcatch Park - air raid shelter

Thanks for the reply.  I've checked the names I have but I can't find a Bishop, I'm afraid - although the name seems very familiar.   When I redo my big poem I have shooting scores and a photo of the shooting team to put in. There may by names you recognize.

I agree, it would be good to get Home Guard records.  If you find  source will you let me know.  And if you have photos of wartime Knowle I'd be glad to see them

I have just joined Roots because of your question. My father was in the Home Guard in Knowle, defending Whitchurch Airport.  I have had a long poem abut the home guard at Knowle on line for a few years and I'm trying to update it.  I'd like a photo of the 10th Battalion headquarters on Redcatch Parade and wondered if you knew of any. 

The other matter, I have a photo and several league tables of shooting comepetions so if you can tell me the name of your family mebers in the HG I may be able to give you info.  If you google "Barrington Fox hengrove poems" the long poem will appear. The home guard poems are somewhere in the middle.
