'The Auxiliary Units were the hidden heroes of the war, and I fully support CART’s mission to honour their bravery. Their vital work should remain secret no longer.' - Justin Tomlinson MP

Hi,
 
What a splendid website! A fitting tribute to an Organization that until recently has not received the publicity that it deserved.  sincerely,

Dear CART,
 
Just a brief e-mail to thank you for forwarding my questions to your northern researcher.
 
I had an immediate and very helpful reply and Stephen (CART researcher) has followed this up with much fascinating info.
 
I am now very curious and look towards following up various aspects of this fascinating subject.
 
With very best wishes.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Ian Holloway

Absolutely thrilled, proud and sad to come across your website on Google.

My father, Norman Bruce Ramsay MC, is on your site with photographs, and to read his WW11 military history, which was unknown to me.

So to see what he had done is a revelation. For me, you have done very valuable work and many thanks indeed for a marvellous website.

Your web site has filled in some gaps and explained a little more the reasons why my father Len Crackett & his close friends spent time underground in Chevington Woods. Enjoyed your web site.

I am an Essex boy living in Texas, and am also a WW 2 buff who collects items of interest from the war. In July 2009 I purchased a first pattern Wilkinsons Sword made Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger. In researching the knife's origins I came across the CART website & made contact with the founder Tom Sykes. Tom was kind enough to help me himself but he also introduced me to CART's weapons advisor &  armourer and guide of the BRO musuem in Parham Suffolk, the great Mr Richard Ashley.
Thanks to CART & especially Richard (who I met this past August) I was able to discvover that my knife had previosly belonged to a true hero, defender of the realm & a gentleman.
Thank You

I have to thank CART for helping me link up with Auxiliary Units Veterans and Historians and thereby find out a lot more background on my Fathers time with Aux Units. CART’s Data Base is growing day by day and now that I am a member I can join in and help with research.

I have been researching our family tree for many years and thought I knew all there was to know about my Grandfathers life in "The Home Guard".

My interest aroused I sat down in front of "Google" and up popped The Coleshill House web site.
 
I put his name into the relative search and within minutes got the reply that not only my Grandfather but a great Uncle and two Uncles were also in this very special unit !

I am very glad that CART is collecting and recording this very important information and I now have my 12 year old nephew "helping" me with trying to get other units in Devon recorded.

Just a quick email to say a big thank you for all your help and advice, it's been invaluable. I hope you get to see the film when it's released next year. I'm not sure all the close ups on the bunker contents will make the cut, but we know it looked accurate! 

Many thanks again,
