Home Guard on motorcycling manoeuvres
The motorcycling press was hugely involved in Home Guard recruitment during both the First and Second World Wars, with adverts and forms, as well as encouragement, appearing in both The Motor Cycle and Motor Cycling.
Pictured here are dispatch riders (DRs) who were part of the Home Guard formed in May 1940.
