He lived in Hove and kept a fire watch at the top of the campanile of St Peter’s in Portland Road.I don’t know which Home Guard unit he was with, presumably the 14th. Sussex (Hove) BattalionI would also note that along with or after there was a barrage balloon there, an anti-aircraft rocket battery was based in Wish Park, probably operated by the Home Guard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Battery Add your replyHiddenAdd your title Add your wordsWould you like to add some images (optional)?
