Home Guard closed records for County Durham - Request a search of closed records where the data subject is living

The National Archives holds enrolment forms of County Durham Home Guard personnel. Many of these records are already open and available for download upon payment of a £3.50 fee. See our Home Guard personnel guide for further information about Home Guard records.

You can use the form on this page to request a search of the closed Home Guard enrolment forms where the subject of the form is living. If the subject is deceased, use our other Home Guard personnel request form.
