Abstract:		 The Home Guard in Britain -- a body of men who would assist the regular army in the event of a German invasion -- was formed in 1940. By the middle of the Second World War it was relatively well armed, and its members exceeded 1.7 million. However, the Home Guard possessed no purpose-built barracks or drill halls and despite its size, half a century later it has left little in the way of recognisable structures. This article describes some of the features that can be found, including emplacements for Blacker Bombard sub-artillery pieces, loopholed walls, fieldworks such as trenches, and small shelters for guards at vulnerable points such as beaches, rivers and railway tunnels, and outlines some of the ways in which the responsibilities of the Home Guard changed during the course of the war.
