Thanks, Greg

Are there any documents I should look through to see if my ancestor served in this home guard?

I've always been puzzled by my ancestors desertion. A couple of years after the event, a muster roll record comment refers to him in this way: "when last heard from was at home." You wouldn't think a deserter would remain in contact with the company.

Is it too late to contribute my ancestor's information for your book?
