Monmouthshire Reunions.
Sergeant Alan Hollingdale of Langstone (Jonah) Patrol was instrumental in forming the Monmouthshire Auxiliers' Association and was the Honorary Secretary. He organised frequent reunions for the Monmouthshire Auxiliers, predominantly at the Greyhound Hotel in Llantrisant near Usk. The same hotel they had the original gathering to celebrate stand down in 1944. In 1994, the 50th Anniversary of stand down saw 8 of the original 64 known Auxiliers attended the lunch with the Lord Lieutenant as an honoured guest.
In 1994 technology meant the Ordnance Survey no longer required Trig Points and the public were offered a chance to sponsor them. Monmouthshire Auxiliers have a plaque remembering them on the Trig Point near Tredunnock at grid reference ST3655994231.
