By bringing the memory of the Home Guard back to life, The Men of Britain are determined that the important role played by these part time soldiers is professionally re-created to educate, inform and remember their sacrifice - 1200 home guards lost their life in pursuit of the defence of our country.

We will remember them.

Formed in 1999, the Men of Britain Home Guard Group have represented the role of the WW2 Home Defence force as Local Defence Volunteers and a complete Home Guard section at many living history events, museum education days, public ceremonies and commemoration events (such as The Lord Mayor's Parade & Royal British Legion Remembrance Festival) as well as work on many television / radio documentaries.

The structure and team spirit owes much to one of the founder members of the group, the historian Mik Burkenshaw, who remains an honourary member of the group.
