Disposal auction of "Aux. Unit" Collection

Recommended Posts

I got a holster from a Brit veteran of the 49th div, Joe.

The holster was marked with the CO of this veterans name and the B.R.O.

B.R.O. meant British Resistance Organistation, the holster was to be used in Guerilla warfare in case of a invasion of Britain.

This chap was based a few miles from where I work, it is now the local farm shop. It is up on an escarpment looking across to the Romney Marsh so it would have been a good vantage point to observe any invaders. I knew a member of another local unit on the North Downs and worked with him for many years, back in the Seventies and heard a lot of tales about what they got up to. Thank goodness they saw no action.
