Army weapons qualification score levels...

Something else that I have of my Grandfather's from his WW2 Home Guard service is a home made club/truncheon made from a spade shaft and it is a little longer than the traditional wooden police truncheon. This came to me via my father and the end of the club has been cross drilled in several places. It has clearly had bolts or studding fitted as washer indentations are still visible in the wood. My Father was aware of the existence of this club shortly after the end of the war but never knew it to have any bolts or studding fitted in it. My Father did question my Grandfather as to the reason why this club was cross drilled in a number of places at the end. My Grandfather replied with a perfectly serious looking face which he could do even when joking that they were cooling holes to help keep the club cool when he was swinging it.

If and when I ever figure out how to use my digital camera I will post some pictures of it.
