Thanks to Don Amphlett for the image to the right of the Rank Mill's Home Guard Unit. Detail from Graham Dodd:

'Just for the record, my grandfather, Harold Dodd, is in the front row, second from the left. The workers in the mill came under the heading of having a “reserved occupation” which exempted them from call-up.'
