Full title reads: “Home Guard School“. VS Good shots of men of the Home Guard being taught how to throw grenades, how to look after a rifle and how to block and defend a road. They are taught how to build models to plan attacks. VS of home guardsmen on manoeuvres practising how to rush out and block a road, each man has a duty, one fits a trip wire across the road, others erect a barbed wire barricade while others fire on the enemy from positions beside the road. A group of children on bikes represent the enemy in the exercise. N.B. For some reason shots of advancing Nazi German troops are intercut with the Dad’s Army style material.
