Other information

Fred Mayo joined the then LDV a month before he was approached by Mr Hooton to see if he would join the Patrol. Fred thought that it was his intimate knowledge of the countryside and the local footpaths which had resulted in him being chosen. Fred's father was the gamekeeper at Canon Frome Court. His brother "Dick" was also in the Patrol.

He was later the head grounds man on the estate.
