My Home Guard Mini Problem

Well since we are doing photos....

My grandfather being inspected by George VI and unidentified senior officers. It must have been June or July 1940 as he went into the RAF to do his pilot training not long after, having joined the HG while waiting to be called up. I do love the look on the on the officer to the King's right. He's looking away as if to say 'Who is this horrible man that's dressed like a bag of shit with a string tied around the middle?'.

Eventually, I will be doing a big book of the Home Guard, because every single topic I do seems to end up back with the Home Guard, so I've amassed a large chunk of material already.
The plan for it is to follow 3-4 Regiments through the war, and using those as the vehicle to discuss the various topics surrounding the subject. The trouble is, selecting which HG units to follow.

Sounds interesting. I did some research on the local HG regiment a couple of years ago but hit some dead ends. It seems they were organised into battalions of a regiment all responsible for designated areas. One dead end that i hit was that, what would have been my very local battalion and numbered on the map had designated areas/checkpoints and lookout posts marked on a period map of the area, but the number of the battalion does not appear in the historic and registered list for HG Battalions, I couldn't find it anyway. I started to make me wonder about the stay behind sabotage units that were supposed to appear in the German rear areas if the invasion had taken place.
