Auxiliary Unit Relative Search

We want to learn as much as possible about the men who served in the Auxiliary Unit. If you have strong reason to think your friend or relative might have been a member of an Auxiliary Unit and you would like to learn more about what they got up to we will try to help you find out more.

Our experienced members will look into the person in question. We suggest you also consult with The British Resistance Organisation and search their archive, this may take you some time however.

This is currently a free service but if we do manage to track your relative a donation to our work would be appreciated. We cannot promise anything so please do not get your hopes up!!

CAN I RESEARCH THIS MYSELF?

Yes you can. No definitive nominal roll for the Auxiliary Units appears to have ever existed. There are a few Public Record Office files,

WO 199/3390 - Lists some names in Dorset, Kent and Somerset.
WO 199/3389 - Lists some names in Northern and Eastern counties and Hereford and Carmarthen areas.
WO 199/3388 - Lists some names in Scotland and Northumberland areas.

Although the Auxiliary Units had no operational connection with the Home Guard these documents list names under the local Home Guard battalion numbers, possibly for security reasons so that Auxiliary Units would not be separately identified.

You can also search our OB page here under the county you think your loved one may have been based at.

NATIONAL AUXILIARY DATABASE

CART and partners are working on a database that will hopefully contain as many as possible confirmed members of the Auxiliary Unit in the UK. Please check this page regularly for the spreadsheet progress status. If you can help by supplying any names and areas of Auxiliers please let us know.

09/02/2010 - The spreadsheet currently contains 2608 names and covers most of England, Wales and Scotland.
