The photocopy was probably taken from a magazine. The text below the image reads ' Emsworth is situated on the south coast, and so the residents have always been keen to do their bit to protect their homes and country. This photograph shows a very smart Emsworth Home Guard - nothing like the incompetent 'Dad's Army' we are led to believe they were.'
