Summary

The diary of Captain Cyril Wellington of Plympton 1940-42

Story

The personal diary of Captain Cyril and Doris Wellington of Plympton Patrol and Area Commander of Devon Groups 2 and 3. War related content only included. References swap between Home Guard and Auxiliary Units though it appears Cyril remained involved with the regular Home Guard after joining Auxiliary Units. 

Other entries recording the air raids and bombing of Plymouth have been included to illustrate the atmosphere in the city at the time.

With thanks and kind permission of their daughters Ann Wellington and Margaret Gardner.
