Stewart Angell has written a great book all about the Sussex Auxiliary Units which can be bought below.

In Sussex there were 23 patrols with 139 men, the smallest consisted of four men and the largest eight. Each patrol had an underground hideout, the operational base (OB) and in many cases an underground observation (OP) post or lookout was also sited close by. Both the OB and OP were extremely well hidden, usually in woodland or thick undergrowth.
