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.

Last week we added a report on the Aylsham Special Duties Out-Station in Norfolk.
The Out-Station used to be located in a large town house called ‘The Beeches’, in the historic market town of Aylsham (North Norfolk). The property was owned by Dr Alec George Holman and his wife Grace Kathleen. Their daughter, Jill (now Jill Monk, seen left), recalls that her father was one of the first civilians to be recruited by SDS to gather information because of his local knowledge. Jill was only 14 years old when she was enrolled.
