Further Information About CHAPLIN Frank

The following is an extract from the excellent book, Chronicles of The Worcestershire Home Guard’ by Milk Wilks, published 2014, and is reproduced under copyright and by kind permission of the author:
The sudden death occurred of Lieutenant Chaplin while acting as an umpire at a Home Guard exercise, near Redditch.  Bill Allington, who was with him at the time, confirms that he suffered a heart attack.  Lieutenant Chaplin had been a member of the Honourable Artillery Company during the First World War.  He had joined the LCV in 1940 and had been instrumental in forming two Home Guard units elsewhere in Britain, before taking command No 13 Platoon of the Bromsgrove Battalion, at BBC Wychbold, where he was an engineer.
