General Ironside, CinC Home Forces, 15th June 1940

Auxiliers wanted

As part of an ongoing oral history and documentary project Martyn Cox of Wide-eyed.tv has so far recorded nearly sixty exclusive interviews with WW2 veterans. Many of these women and men served in intelligence or resistance roles and haven’t ever spoken of these in such depth and detail.  Martyn would like Auxiliers who are interested in sharing their memories to contact him via his website www.our-secret-war.org

SEE FOR YOURSELF!

There's only so much you can learn from a computer screen. To walk through an Operating Base and see the kit at first hand, visit Parham Airfield Museum, Suffolk.
