Operational from 1940 to 1944, the Home Guard had 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, such as those who were too young or too old to join the regular armed services (regular military service was restricted to those aged 18 to 41) or those in reserved occupations. Excluding those already in the armed services, the civilian police or civil defence, approximately one in five men were volunteers. Their role was to act as a secondary defence force in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany and other Axis powers.[1][2] Home Guard post at Admiralty Arch in central The Home Guard were to try to slow down the advance London, 21 June 1940. of the enemy even by a few hours to give the regular troops time to regroup.

AND DERBY 1908 {All Kifkts Rtterifed] DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir William Brampton Gurdon K.C.M.G., M.P., L.L. PREFACE SUFFOLK has not yet found an historian. Gage published the only complete history of a Sufifolk Hundred; Suckling's useful volumes lack completeness. There are several manuscript collections towards a History of Suffolk—the labours of Davy, Jermyn, and others. Local historians find these compilations extremely useful ; and, therefore, owing to the mass of material which they contain, all other sources of information are neglected. The Records of Suffolk, by Dr. W. A. Copinger shews what remains to be done. The papers of this volume of the Memorial Series have been selected with the special purpose of bringing to public notice the many deeply interesting memorials of the past which exist throughout the county; and, further, they are published with the view of placing before the notice of local writers the results of original research. For over six hundred years Suffolk stood second only to Middlesex in importance ; it was populous, it abounded in industries and manufactures, and was the home of great statesmen.

  • The Estuary of the River Ore, Suffolk: Three Decades of Change in a Longer-Term Context
    Field Studies6 (1986), 439458 THE ESTUARY OF THE RIVER ORE, SUFFOLK: THREE DECADES OF CHANGE IN A LONGER-TERM CONTEXT A. P. CARR Instituteof OceanographicSciences, Taunton, Somerset* ABsrRAcr This paper describes changes at the mout-h of the River Ore, Suffolk, over the 30-year period up to 1985 and sets these in a longer-term context. Annual topo- graphic and hydrographic surveys were carried out from 1956 until 1970, with further surveys in 1980 and 1985. The period 1970-85 shareswith the previous decade and a halfboth the recession of the Shingle Street shoreline opposite the distal part of Orford spit, and rhe con- tinuing growth of the shingle banks which represent an inter- and sub-tidal extension of the latter. However, there have also been major differences. Firstly, over the period 1970-85 the orientation of the main channel at tlre estuary entrance changed from an alignment roughly at right angles to the overall coastline, to one broadly parallel with the Shingle Street shore. Secondly, between 1980 and 1985 the distal point ofOrford spit underwent slight recession. These changes were accompanied by increasingly complex bathymetry at the estuary entrance. The mechanism by which the spit ultimately breaks up is discussed. INrnooucrroN PRrvrous papers have described both the general evolution ofthe Orford area and that of the estuary of the River Ore in particular. Of the general papers, Redman (1865) con- sidered the district in relation to the overall coastline of East Anglia, and Steers (1926) examined the evolution of the spit as a whole. Kidson (1963) used rhe configuration of the Ore estuary as an example of "counter-drift".
