Alfred Francis Coles

Interviewed by Mac Hawkins for his book Somerset at War he recalled; "I only knew that Reg Shattock was in it, but knew of nobody else. We met at Pightley House, Spaxton and spent a month or two studying identification - enemy tanks, gun carriages, and so on - also German regiments of the line - so we would be able to identify them easily. We had secret meeting places where we could leave messages - there was a place at the top of Enmore Hill - a couple of big stones which was our 'post box'. We never did leave any messages!"
