World War Two / Dad's Army Photo
« on: Thursday 03 April 25 17:29 BST (UK) »
Hi there
I have posted a photo of my grandfather who I know was in the Dad's Army during WW2. My grandfather is the one with an arm band - on the right. Does anyone know what this means and why he is wearing the armband? Also does anyone know where this photo was taken? He lived in London - Isleworth during WW2.
Are there any records on the Dad's Army? If not - are there any good accounts of what they did in West London during this time?
Thanks in advance.

Good point. I have looked at the record again and it says From: WMCH Length of time in Workhouse: 3 days. Could this be West Middlesex County Hospital?

Thanks for the info. I will search the London Archives. Hopefully I will find something useful. The death certificate only had cause of death - tuberculosis - not the mental medical condition unfortunately.

I got a researcher to look at the Springfield Asylum records for me. The 100 year rule did apply to my grandfather's records, unfortunately, and they are not released to the public - a bit pricey - but it has given me some information. His medical condition is still a mystery!

Hi there
I have known that my grandfather was admitted to Springfield Asylum in the 1940s and today I have found out that he was admitted to Springfield on 20th September 1945 but was in his local workhouse for 3 days prior where he was certified.He lived in Southall and the county I believe was Middlesex. Does anyone know which workhouse he would have been admitted to and where the records are kept?
I have no idea what his medical condition was and I am hoping that as he was certified at the workhouse there might be some records. The Springfield records have nothing specific unfortunately.
Many thanks.
