Mounted Home Guard LDV units of Exmoor

Interesting photo in this Exmoor in Wartime 1939-45 by Jack Hurley of Exmoor Mounties, a LDV and Home Guard mounted unit on Exmoor:

An interesting introduction taking the Somerset Home Guard back to their Fencible and Sea Fencible (1798) Napoleonic Volunteer equivalents.

Peter Cole at Replicants produced a 54mm mounted Home Guard, although I cannot find this mounted figure on his distributor Steve Weston’s Plastic Soldier website:
