Worcestershire Group 1(a)

Worcestershire (Groups 1a and 1b) formed part of area 19 which also included Herefordshire, Monmouthshire (Group 3) and latterly from 1943 part of Glamorganshire (Groups 4a and 4b).

It is thought that stores were held at Wolverton Hall, the home of the van Moppes and Company Quartermaster Sergeant Thomas Dawe.

Many Auxiliers recall Sergeant Thurstan Holland-Martin of Overbury Patrol as having a roll in recruiting and training.

Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire Patrols were given Biblical code names. It is assumed this was an initiative of Todd to prevent the use of Patrols locations names.
