An astonishing collection of documents relating to the Home Guard have come to light from the Crofton family. The collection of military orders, letters, defence plans and hand drawn maps were lovingly kept in a huge elegant scrap book by Major Crofton’s father, Lt Col Sir Morgan George Crofton Bt DSO. The collection also includes a number of ledgers.
