Unallocated Men Somerset Group 8

Locality

The 3 Patrols in Group 8 are all very close together and a lot of the men lived within the wider Washford area. Major Hancock at GHQ Coleshill recorded the Patrol Leaders and Area and Group Commanders at stand down but which men were in which Patrols it is impossible to know without further evidence. Please contact us if you can help place the men in their Patrols.
