Im will be adding more sources over time.Steven Slater 15:46, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

As far as I know, "The" was not part of the name, any more than it was of the "Local Defence Volunteers".
It might be worthwhile to cross-reference to the ground observer corps of the Battle of Britain, who actually had a critical role -- after the Germans crossed the coast, observers were the primary way the air defense tracked their flights.
There were also some elite stay-behind units that had cover identities. --Howard C. Berkowitz 21:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Dealt with the Aux units. You correct that it was the HOME GUARD. Cheers for the advice.Steven Slater 23:51, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
I moved it to take out the 'the', but now seem to have also lost some metadata.Steven Slater 00:03, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
What is missing? It seems correct to me.
It was lacking the intro box when I first moved it.Steven Slater 13:38, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
My copy of Anthony Cave Brown's Bodyguard of Lies, which has material both on Home Guard and Aux Units, is somewhere on the shelf; there are some other references for which I'll have to search.--Howard C. Berkowitz 01:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
