Super Zero StationTo Shaftesbury (Price driving) - hospital case, and then Salisbury for stationery supplies. Visited Hut - shown the super zero by Mr Gartner. Beatrice Temple's diary makes what could be the first reference to a Super Zero Station. Brian Drury's excellent article describes the station as it stood in 2016. The station at Wilton is the largest so far discovered. Observation Post in E YorksAndy Gwynne, an Auxunit researcher in East Yorkshire writes: We got word of a potential Observation Post in situ for the Harpham Patrol in East Yorkshire and sure enough we found a four sided concrete sectioned fox hole for want of a better word. This is an absolute amazing find. Unofficial HistoryWillie Ingram acquired a reputation as a consummate story teller, always ready to regale visitors with humorous and original tales. Yet he was uncharacteristically reticent on the subject of his wartime activities in the Auxiliary Units' Grange Patrol. Take the TestThanks to Alison Smith the Parham Museum now has a record of Grange Patrol's training. Test yourself with Alison's newly discovered Training Course notes. Jon Bealey and Bob Millard kindly provided us with model answers so test your knowledge and we will let you know how well you score.
