Sgt Cyril Hodgetts Regt.No: 30407
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2021 11:26 amHi,
As my Grandad, Cyril Hodgetts never fought in the war, was wondering how he got promoted to Sergeant? How would I go about finding this out, please?
All I know is that Cyril Hodgetts, as Range Warden, played a part in starting up Local Defence Volunteers, which later became the Halesowen Home Guards. They used to have meetings at the White Lion, Windmill Hill, Cradley. Cyril was in charge of running the open range at Witley Colliery, Halesowen where he would have been looking after ammunitions, setting up targets, etc. He was a member of the 5th Worcs.Home Guard. No.19 Platoon 'C' Coy.
