These Angus Patrols were recorded as Group 4, part of Area 3 which covered Fife and Angus. Laterly the Aungus Patrols trained at Pitscandy House.
Group Commander Sir Torquil Munro reported after the war that,
“I had 35 men in my group, each recruited separately and in complete secrecy, the group was divided into five sections of seven men each. In our number we had two very highly respected and well-to-do farmers and gamekeepers, one agricultural contractor, one blacksmith, and the rest were tractor drivers and farm workers."
The Hancock list of Patrols compiled in September 1944 only includes 4 Patrols in the Group. It is possible that another Patrol existed earlier in the war but was stood down before the list was compiled. This is supported by Brigadier Major recording 25 Patrols in 1941, with only 24 Patrols on the Hancock List
