Other information
Stears: “I was working in the fields when two officers approached me - Captain Norman Field and, possibly, Captain Peter Fleming. They mentioned Ted Golding’s name and asked if I was interested in joining. I was told to report to Percy Hocken at Glassenbury Hill Farm that night. I trained with Michael Calvert at Salehurst in Sussex for most of the summer."
