Description: The film begins with men of the 'B' Company of the 13th Middlesex Battalion of the Home Guard in their uniforms and great coats assembling in a street in regimented rows and proceeding to march to the parade ground. At the parade ground a group of spectators watch their entrance. When all the troops have filed in and formed into lines, there is an address by Mr John Hogg JP followed by a drumhead service during which a local priest preaches from an altar draped with a union flag. Those assembled sing the hymn 'O God Our Help in Ages Past', with the home guard men and spectators all clutching sheets with the words upon them. The men parade out to music played by a military band. The film ends at a different location with the men of 'B' company standing easy, many of them lighting cigarettes or pipes. They listen to farewell messages given by their officers Major R.A. Loader and Captain W.M. Millar and by the Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel C.W. Norman.
