Yes, most of the men in the Home Guard during World War II were over 40 years old. The Home Guard was formed to include individuals who were not eligible for military service, often due to age or other factors. This allowed older men to contribute to the defense of their communities while younger men were away fighting. As a result, the average age of Home Guard members tended to be significantly higher than that of regular military personnel.
