This story was submitted by Alan Welsh, a Radio Cumbria volunteer, on behalf of Alex McKenzie and has been added to the site with his permission.

During the war, Alex was a schoolboy living in Barrow-in-Furness. He recalls seeing many mock 鈥渂attles鈥 around the town where the Home Guard would attempt to defend the docks and important buildings from an 鈥渁ttack鈥 by troops based at nearby Dalton.

Alex often saw columns of Home Guard marching round the town, but the strangest sights during the mock 鈥渂attles鈥 were the Home Guard standing around with signs round their neck saying, 鈥渨e are dead鈥, 鈥渨e are captured鈥, etc.
