The 13th Battalion Home Guard at a rifle shoot at Liddington, c. 1942

The 13th Battalion Home Guard at a rifle shoot on the chalk ridge at Liddington, near Swindon. The Home Guard evolved to be a well-equipped trained army and would partake in numerous drills and training exercises such as the one illustrated here. Not only were they ready for invasion but they could also perform bomb disposal and man anti-aircraft artillery. This was a far cry from their comedic image portrayed by the popular television series, Dads Army
