Home Guard Instruction No. 51 – Battlecraft and Battle Drill for the Home Guard. Part IV – The Organization of Home Guard Defence

November 1943. Specifically focussed on defending villages, towns, roads and other areas that the Home Guard were responsible for in the event of an invasion. Many of these small unit tactics would become the normal ‘opposing force’ elements when on exercise against the British Army and other units based in the UK ahead of the Normandy landings.
