The Home Guard Memorabilia Pack

This informative and beautifully reproduced set of replica documents, information guides, cigarette cards and magazines, vividly brings to life the lives of Britain’s Home Guard personnel during World War II. Containing a variety of documents accurately reproduced from WWII originals, this superb memorabilia pack takes you back to a time of food and clothing rationing, constant German air raids and the day to day struggle of the military and civilian population during Britain’s darkest hour.

This informative replica pack contains:

Home Guard Flyer
Rare recruitment flyer, whipping up the locals into a frenzy with statements such as “Smash Germans” in Chislehurst”.

Home Guard Training Booklet (1940)
Superb abridged 44 page booklet on how to tackle the enemy in the event of invasion, meticulously advising on patrols and marching disciplines: “Keep your necks touching the collar at all times”.

Modern World

Information Circulars
Detailed guidelines from the War Office on duties given to “older men” and reminders that drivers carrying explosives should not smoke.
