Yesterday discovered for sale a swagger stick presented to a Sgt-Major Taylor on the occasion of his promotion (March 1916) from Sect 14 'C' Com 1st Battalion C.L.N.G (C?)

What/Who on earth are C.L.N.G ?

'City of London....N...G...?

Any ideas you boffins?

(Bloke wanted £75 for it !)

Moston,

It's the 'City of London National Guard', which equates to a Home Guard unit of WWI. Had I been home I could have posted a photo of one of it's members. They later became part of the Volunteer Training Corps in 1915 & Volunteer Force in 1916, when the VTC was reorganised.
