This and
associated pages are hosted by the staffshomeguard
website (whose subject is the Home Guard of Great

memories, all recalled by the author in old age, of a childhood in
Streetly, Staffordshire (as it was then
called) and life in it during the period 1936-1961;
and of holidays in
Devon
during the same period.
