I am attempting to locate service records for my paternal grandfather, Ernest Lock Upham as an Local Defence Volunteer / Home Guard person.
Do such records exist?
He was based in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire.

Not the same thing exactly, but when I was last in Hull, I managed to find my grandfather's application form and membership card for the ARP, at the local history centre. If you have an appropriate history centre, they might help. But try Jon's suggestion first.
