Poet and radio broadcaster Z A Bokhari attends bayonet drill with the rest of his colleagues in the BBC Home Guard, Bedford College. He has been granted special permission to wear a turban, rather than a forage cap.

Didn't know the BBC had their own Home Guard unit.
Obviously part of the Royal Fusiliers.

Who was ZA Bokhari?
Bit confused with my Googling.
Did he go on to be Head of Pakistan radio?
