The Home Guard

History, Village

Can you help ?

My name is Erik Gregg. I am presently writing a book about the Lincolnshire Home Guard and I am acutely aware that the Isle of Axholme always sadly seems to get a bit lost when people discuss the whole county.

Do you know of anything to do with the unit or the Home Guard generally in Eastoft?

All I seem to know at present is the unit covering the Isle of Axholme which was the 3rd Lindsey Battalion under Colonel Reynolds.

Can you help and point me in the direction of anyone who knew more.
