Description
Members of the 'Mainwarinings Mob' re-enactment group who recreate a unit of the British Home Guard during WW2. Although too old to join regular units and some have argued of potentially limited value during an actual invasion, they were of great morale value to the home front.
They also pay homage to the classic British television series 'Dad's Army' which first aired in 1968.
