E Company, West Riding 66th Battalion
When Dore became part of Sheffield in 1934 it moved from Derbyshire to the West Riding of Yorkshire. (South Yorkshire was not created until 1974.)
The Home Guard had been stood down on the 3rd of December 1944 so this will also have been a farewell dinner.
Although this menu card does not state where the dinner was held its menu items reference Whirlow and Ecclesall. You can see they ate Celerie de Whinfell and Weet–a–wood Biscuits among the other fanciful dishes.
This menu card was donated to Dore Archive in 1999 by Mrs Nicholson. If you have any information about the Home Guard in Dore please do get in touch. Perhaps you recognise one of the autographs. We would be pleased to hear from you.
