LECTURES FOR HOME GUARD
Sir- Your correspondent "Home Guard," suggesting that the broadcasting authorities should arrange a series of lectures dealing with guardgsmen’s duties and training, has raised a question which, I think, calls for serious consideration by the NBS. Most units of the Guard at the present time lack not merely equipment, but also trained instructors, but while it is possible to get through quite a lot of valuable training without weapons, specialist in- . structors are a necessity if guardsmen are to acquire ~ the technical knowledge which their role in any emergency operations would demand. It is possible, for example, to learn quite a lot about handling grenades or Mills bombs, or digging tank-traps, without actually handling a bomb or an entrenching tool, and until sufficient specialists are available to give instruction to individual units, the radio is the obvious answer to the problem.
