Exercise Ajax, Home Guard and the forgotten Regulars: What we don't see in this photo from 1941 YouTube video by Remember the Regulars

Didn't expect to be making this video this morning, but seeing a wartime photo posted to Facebook just before I went to bed last night got me thinking.

Let's a take a look at Exercise Ajax in Hull in July 1941.

Here's another vitally important role that often gets attributed to the Home Guard, but was actually the responsibility of soldiers if the Regular or Territorial Army.

Anyway, this is a really decent image that draws attention to the role of the Regulars et al in defence of the UK during the #SecondWorldWar. Remember, keep it real and #RememberTheRegulars.

Home Forces Resources These resources outline the military organisation of the UK's Home Forces during the Second World War.

The 6th Btn RSF were deployed within the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division, a TA Division, under XI Corps of the Home Forces in defence of East Anglia during 1940. How many people remember their role today? #RememberTheRegulars ukswwh.wordpress.com/home-forces/

Units further north towards Filey were also to take on active defence of their associated bases and establishments.
