Thurso 1 Patrol

Other information

There are two Patrols recorded in the Thurso area in the Nominal Roll. This Patrol was stood down before October 1942 and a totally different Patrol was set up that lasted through to Stand Down. "Gone to Forces" is recorded by their names on the Nominal roll and the group is crossed out.

As the known OB structure sounds more elaborate it is assumed this is connected with the later Patrol but they may have made use of the original Patrol's OB.

Robert Cathcart recalled an OB on the beach at Scrabster which may have been the OB for this Patrol.
