War -Home Guard Westmorland shot pig

Oral history Home Guard & WW2 Levens Bridge Westmorland

Home Guard practice at Levens Garth Westmorland and this oral history is of a lad who threw clods of earth to and from the Home Guard. Tank traps against Tiger tanks! Bayonet danger – on the bus. Target practice, oops a pig, ah, fresh meat!

This oral history was recorded for the Voices of Cumbria Millennium Project in 2000 commissioned by Cumbria Archives and was illustrated by Peter Nicholson using various images from various collections in Cumbria. Please re-use freely.
