We have just added information on the Ipswich II Auxiliary Unit patrol from Suffolk to the site.
The OB has sadly long gone. Apart from patrol leader Sgt Neville G Palmer in the centre, front row of the picture, they don’t know who is who in the photo and would be grateful to hear from anybody who can put names on the other men. The report, by our CIO’s Evelyn Simak and Adrian Pye.

Today we have added a report on the Easton Park / Glevering Auxiliary Unit Patrol in Suffolk.
The patrol was sometimes also referred to as Glevering Patrol, presumably because the patrol leader and several members came from Glevering, a hamlet located a couple of miles south-east of Easton. The patrol formed part of Framlingham Group (8th Bn/Framlingham GHQ 202 Bn Home Guard Reserve) The image shows an old map of the park area.

Both the DOB database and the BRO Museum at Parham, give the location of this patrol’s OB as being in a vineyard although their grid references differ by several hundred metres, covering two different vineyards in this area. The OB is in neither of them.
CART’s researchers for Norfolk and Suffolk have jointly located it and they offer us this report.
Our Suffolk and Norfolk researchers have added a page of info on the Dallinghoo Auxiliary Unit patrol. They were also referred to as Pettistree Patrol and Bredfield Patrol.
Sadly the OB has since been filled in but their info is interesting never the less. See more here
