Other information
Corporal Ken Watts was an agricultural labourer who always wore his “Home Guard” Corporal's uniform but the locals noticed he never appeared on parade.
Sam Gilling was an early volunteer in the Home Guard and an old friend of Ken Watts. Sam ribbed Ken about never doing Home Guard parades so Ken said “Come and find out, we could do with a bloke like you”.
He worked at Winterhead Hill Farm.
