A document has been shown to us which we suspect was created at Coleshill.
It is very insightful and is a detailed guide on discipline in the Operational Base as well as a typical 24 hours operational activity for an Auxilier during the Winter.
A must read for any fan of the Auxiliary Units. You can see the page here. As a special Christmas treat we have also re-created it as a downloadable PDF file.

We have now added a report by CART member Andy Gwynne to the site.

This is Andy’s first report for CART and he has also created a video on the location.
Andy says he has not seen any images of this patrols OB on the net or any books and suspects that his images are a CART exclusive.

Dr. Will Ward, CART CIO for Dorset, has provided info on the Came Park Patrol from Dorset.
The patrol’s Operational Base was apparently built by soldiers of the Dorsetshire Regiment stationed in the town, which was the home of the Regimental Depot. This was most unusual but the men were apparently extremely secretive about what they had done, despite the interest of their colleagues.

Our Suffolk and Norfolk researchers recently crossed the border into north-east Lincolnshire and were able to visit a few Auxiliary Unit sites.
The first one of these is the Barton Upon Humber patrol known as ‘Sugarloaf’ Patrol.

Norfolk’s Kirby Bedon Aux Unit Patrol have been added to our site.The secret operational base was located in a shed used for storing apple boxes and crates, in one of the extensive orchards adjoining The Grange in the 1940s. It was accessed through a trapdoor in the floor which opened to a drop-down shaft with rungs serving as a ladder. The main chamber adjoined at the bottom of the shaft, with a short passage leading into it.
You can see all the info on the patrol here
