future event Coleshill Sunday 4 July

[Great War truck]

The National Trust have agreed to hold an open day at Coleshill on Sunday 4 July running from 10.00 to 5.00.

Coleshill was the HQ of the Auxiliary Units the British Resistance Organisation. The Open Day will focus on the role of Coleshill during WW2 and there will be a range of displays, talks and walks during the day. The NT would like to have a number of BRITISH WW2 vehicles on display on the day and would welcome some MVT participation. This will be the first time they’ve done this so it’s a bit ‘toe jn the water’ for them. The Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART) will be helping out by doing the Talks and Walks and some static displays of Aux Unit equipment and documentation. The intention is also to have some re-enactments simulating an Aux Unit attack on an enemy position. It is not intended for this to be a big event but if any of you would like to bring their British vehicles to this fairly local event and have a look at Coleshill site they’d be most welcome.

Stupid question, but where is it? I have a rifle of the type imported from America and used by auxilary forces.
