Alan Stewart, our Aberdeenshire CIO took part in a special open day at the Fraserburgh Heritage Centre yesterday. He gave a powerpoint presentation and showed some of our research.
Alan met a few Aux relatives including Alison Smith who provided us with the Grange Patrol diary.
Alan saw a steady stream of people over the day and a lot of people remember the names of Auxiliers from the local area. Quite a few people thought the Auxiliary Units were the same as the Home Guard so Alan spent a bit of time explaining the difference.
A unique information folder relating to the Fraserburgh & District (and Banffshire) activities of the Auxiliary Units has been established at Fraserburgh Heritage Centre – a result of Alan Stewart’s presentation.
Visitors can read the Folder contents in the Reference Library (WW2 Folder 3).
It makes fascinating reading!
INVITATION: If you have additional information on the subject (with reference to Fraserburgh) your contribution is most welcome.
