Sgt Fred Trego of Sandford Patrol fortunately kept some of his notes after training at Coleshill. His widow Mrs Nora Trego kindly makes them available, with the photos of Sandford Patrol and OB. Fred also left a copy of his personal Kit List and a sketch of how to construct an OB trapdoor, seen below.
