I hadn't thought about works units Chris, he was working at Wolseley Sheep Shearing in Witton at the time, do you know if they had their own unit?
Hello Chris, no I am afraid not, Most of these things that I post I have had for some considerable time, I have posted the best of them over the years but I keep finding odds and ends as I clear out my clutter. I used to repair clocks and watches but I gave that up when the electric rubbish took over, I also trained as a gents tailor and made several suits for myself then I started making my wife's clothes. I was a tourist guide for Birmingham and that caused me to gather a lot of papers and books so you can see where all my clutter came from. I am clearing everything out because my wife keeps talking about moving into sheltered accommodation and I will only continue with my sewing (X stitch) hobby.
Hi Eric, I appreciate that this is 5 1/2 years late but have you seen this?I wonder if in your Home Guard studies you might come across a Charles Coughlin, he was my maternal grandfather, I know he was in the HG but not where or which unit, he served with the South Staffs in WW1, would he have done the same in the HG or could he have just as easily been in the Warwicks?
