Home guard

[harleybabe]

During WW2 my father in law was in the Home Guard and also worked at Ruddington making, I believe,bombs. We have a very large dictionary which is inscribed to him from Group B at Ruddington for all of his work. Any thoughts as to why his team would present him with this dictionary? Pat
