Though the immediate danger of invasion receded after 1941, the Home Guard was only disbanded in 1945 and revived again in the 1950s as the perceived threat from Russia intensified. This local history examines the evolution of the Home Guard units in Worcestershire, profiling some of the key characters, charting the developing structure of the organization and the increasing professionalism of the volunteers, and describing some of the incidents in which they were involved.
