Auxilier Albert Newman pointed out in the 1980s where their bunker was and recalled how, when they were stood down, they filled it with their weapons (including Bren guns) and explosives, all wrapped in oilcloth. The bunker was then filled in. The site was in a copse adjacent to Long Lane near Newport on the Isle of Wight.
Newport Patrol
On January 20th 1945, a significantly historical dinner was held at the Masonic Hall, Ryde. Gathered together for the first time in five years were the majority of the members of the Island’s Auxiliary Patrols. A copy of the post stand-down dinner menu for that Saturday evening offers evidence of the men involved.
