The Local Defence Volunteers (LDV) were formed to prevent the threat of invasion should it occur. The L.D.V. later became known as the Home Guard. The Stonehouse Home Guard Unit was formed probably in the summer of 1940, when Germany invaded the Low Countries and France.
William Anderson a local who was in the Home Guard wrote an account of the home guard for the group and this can be read . In his account he states that a number of Platoons were formed . Recollections of Home Guard W Anderson
