History of Seaham - Stories and remarkable and memorable events in the history of Seaham Seaham and World War 2 Seaham men who enrolled in the Durham Home Guard (1940)
A number of Seaham born men served in the Durham Home Guard during World War 2. Most of them served in the 26th Battalion with their headquarters in the Londonderry Drill Hall on Castlereagh Road. At New Seaham a drill shed was built by the Home Guard on the site of the bombed-out Seaham Colliery Inn. After the War this was dismantled and rebuilt at the bottom of the “Black Road/Malvern Crescent as The Labour Club. The formation sign of the Seaham Home Guard was DHM26 on dark blue on khaki. The Battalion was made up of men who were either in a reserved occupation, over age or too young to enlist. Their main role was home defence and they undertook training and duties alongside the army in their local area. The Home Guard at Seaham were enrolled on 14th May 1940 after the withdrawal of the British Expeditionary Forces from Europe at Dunkirk and the Durham Home Guard were officially disbanded on 31st December 1945. The National Archives contain records of these men including the attestation document they signed on enrolment. Some of these attestation records are closed to the general public for 100 years from the date of birth of the Home Guard member or until the National Archives are officially notified of the members death by their family.
