Well last night the piece that CART helped put together was aired on the Discovery History Channel.
It is a general piece on the Aux Units and features CART weapons expert Richard Ashley and Coleshill Head Warden Keith Blaxhall.
We hope it will attract more interest in the Auxiliary Units story.
It must have been popular as someone has already uploaded part of it to You Tube. You can watch it here

Last month we started to set up a network of CIOs (County Information Officers) around the UK in an effort to gain more research and understanding about the Auxiliary Units.
Today we published our second CIO report by Nina Hannaford (CIO for Devon) on our members only page. When these reports turn into publishable research they will appear on the website.
Our thanks to Nina for good historical digging…
