Today we published a new page all about Ted Jefferies who was a Boy Scout during WW2. Too young to enlist, his war was spent in the rural market town of Highworth. Nothing much of interest there then, you might say. No daring or constant exposure to the horrors of war, except that Ted was a Boy Scout with a secretive and vital war time role that, fortunately, was never required.

He became a secret messenger between Mabel Stranks at GPO Highworth and Coleshill House. Read his full story here www.staybehinds.com/edward-g-jefferies
