normal conspiracy theories and a family member of a welsh Auxilier was
interviewed at an OB.

I am fairly sure that 95 % of the people reading this will not use Facebook but if you do I have
created a page for the Auxiliary Unit here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=187317861849
I have been asked by a few people recently if I feel my work is
glorifying war or glamorising the Unit and what might have been. The
simple answer is no.
At least 90 % of the original Auxiliers are now dead and many of them
never mentioned what they did to others. I am trying to ensure that
their wor... Continue reading ...

Today we filmed an interview for BBC Oxford TV Evening News. We only had two minutes to talk and condensing the history of the Aux
Units and Coleshill into that time was tough. The BBC did make some
mistakes in what they had researched but the mistakes are worth the
coverage we feel. Straight after filming the Presenter suggested we went on BBC Radio Oxford and we were taken into the radio studios. Within two minutes Tom was sat in the studio and talking to Bill Heine LIVE. The interview was a... Continue reading ...
