As far as I know, "The" was not part of the name, any more than it was of the "Local Defence Volunteers".
It might be worthwhile to cross-reference to the ground observer corps of the Battle of Britain, who actually had a critical role -- after the Germans crossed the coast, observers were the primary way the air defense tracked their flights.
There were also some elite stay-behind units that had cover identities. --Howard C. Berkowitz 21:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Dealt with the Aux units. You correct that it was the HOME GUARD. Cheers for the advice.Steven Slater 23:51, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
