General notes
Burnley's Home Guard in its early stages marching on Standish Street. The home guard, originally known as the Local Defence Volunteers, were men who were not called up for active service for various reasons. These men volunteered to join a local militia that were equipped and trained to defend Britain if an invasion occurred by air, land or sea.
