We have added two detailed reports to our website by our Somerset researcher Chris Perry.
Chris had some assistance from our Devon researcher Nina Hannaford.
The Butleigh Patrol was already on the website but has been greatly enhanced and expanded on by Chris.
The Baltonsborough Patrol is new and the depth of research by Chris is just first rate.
See the reports under Group 11 here.
Today we have added a very detailed report on the Tawstock Auxiliary Unit Patrol in Devon.
The report has been compiled by Nina Hannaford, our Devon CIO with help by our Somerset Researcher, Chris Perry.
The report provides great insight into the men behind the patrol, their training and targets, not to mention a very unusual Operational Base.
See more the report here.
Today we have added a page on Captain G C L Atkinson M.C to the site.
Capt Atkinson was the Intelligence Officer for the County Durham Auxiliary Units.
Thanks to Stephen Lewins, our Durham CIO for the contribution.

Thanks to the hard work of Hugh Frostick and Dr Will Ward we have added another 4 patrol reports to the website this morning.
We still need your help to fill in a few blanks so if you can help please do contact us.
Farringdon is a small village 6 miles east of Exeter. This patrol report has been produced by our Devon CIO Nina Hannaford.
The patrol utilised the existing structure of Farringdon House Ice House for their Operational Base.
It is possible that the “entrance” has been created post war as the blocks appear damaged at the sides. If the block wall was complete, thus sealing off the original entrance passageway to the Ice House leaving only the tunnel, this would make escape more viable.
Read Nina’s full and fascinating patrol report here.
A lake or pond has been mentioned in a few new accounts of training at GHQ Coleshill.
Auxiliers used this at night to get across.
Having reviewed the whole estate and maps we feel this is the location they used.
