Today our Aberdeenshire CIO Alan Stewart has added another five patrol reports in Aberdeenshire to the site.
They are just basic reports that include names of the Auxilier’s but we have found that this normally means that members of the public and their relatives help us fill in the gaps.

We have added a very detailed report on the Ashbrittle Auxiliary Unit by Aux researcher Chris Perry and our Devon CIO Nina Hannaford.
The patrol were based at the village of Ashbrittle, 6 miles west of Wellington in south west Somerset.
What makes Ashbrittle’s Operational Base special is the level of work that went into the chimney and the remaining concrete air vent base moulded from concrete to resemble a tree.
See many images and more info on this patrol here.

Today Stephen Lewins has added all the recorded names of members of the Auxiliary Unit on the Isle of Wight. The names have been added to this page for now and will be moved to their own patrol reports when a local researcher is found on the Island.
Their pre invasion role would be observation of the English Channel for German raids and the protection of vital island infrastructure including the allies PLUTO pipe line to France. After the reorganisation the patrols became part of no.14 Area (Hampshire) in Groups 9 & 10.

Today is St Piran’s Day so we thought we would add another patrol from Cornwall to the site.
The Philleigh Patrol were situated on the Roseland Peninsular next to the River Fal. Their Operational base was located in a small copse (see image) surrounded by farmland on Trenestral Farm. The patrol requested, and were given, an inflatable dingy and limpet mines for use on vessels in the River Fal.
