Elite raiding forces played a significant role in Britain's military capability during WWII and much has been written recording the exploits of units such as the SAS, Commandos and others.

However due to the secrecy of their setting up and the role they were designed to play should Britain have been invaded in WWII the role of the stay-behind forces known as the Auxiliaries and Special Duty Units has had a lot less coverage and much still needs to be done to learn more about these units dotted around Britain ready to form the core of early resistance to a German invasion.
I was fortunate to hear a presentation by CART (Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team) covering the activities of one of these patrols set to operate in my home part of East Devon and have put together a post recording the talk and inviting people who might know more about patrols operating in their area to get in contact with the team.

It’s a great subject and something that I am working on myself.
28mm being my chosen scale I am scrounging around for figures that suit.
Will post up some efforts soon. 👍
