Have just added a new page on Stanstead Auxiliary Unit in Sussex.

As Owen Sheer’s book Resistance is such a good read and directly talks about an invasion and the Auxiliary Units in Wales we have created a page for it on our website.
See the page here http://www.coleshillhouse.com/owen-sheers-resistance.php
You can buy the book through the link above.
We have just added a map of the Auxiliary Unit patrols and OB locations to our Norfolk page.
See here for more http://www.coleshillhouse.com/norfolk-auxiliary-units-and-obs.php
The map was kindly provided by Adrian Hoare.
Thanks to a huge database donation from Will Ward we have now been able to help a relative trace their father who was an Auxilier.
It gave us a great buzz to find the Auxiliers name on our database and to then be able to inform the relative.
We now have over 2000 names covering most of the UK and this is being added to all the time with new information and research.
The database remains non broadcast as we feel we must preserve the privacy of the men who kept this a secret till the grave. If they chose not to reveal their wartime involvement then we must respect that.
Our database expert Paula hopes she can now help other members of the public track and trace their loved ones.
