Home Guard record interpretation ?

    I`ve recently sent for my grandads Home Guard papers. These are just 2 sheets of A4 with his personal details on joining, then another sheet titled Certificate of Acceptance.
    His joining date was written as 16/04/42, this was however crossed out and another date written underneath as 28th May 1942. I`m wondering why the first date might`ve been crossed out ?
    On the Certificate of Acceptance there is a part titled "Service towards engagement reckons from 28-5-42" but there doesn`t seem to be a discharge date entered in the spaces provided.
    Also does anyone know if there is any info available on H Coy, 16th Battalion Devonshire Home Guard (Plymouth) ?
    Many thanks

    A quick search of the National Archive search engine throws up a number of references to documents held there and at the Plymouth and West Devon record office including what may be a photo of 'H Company'.

    Slick, how did you apply for the HG record? I wouldn't mind doing that myself for my family ...
