Francis George Mayston

Frank Mayston was the Royal Engineers Corporal for Sussex. He helped train Patrols in explosives and was also involved in the construction of Operational Bases. He was involved early on in the construction of the Airship Hole in Kent, but did not see it finished before moving to Sussex. In his spare time, with others, they built the Tottington Manor OB beneath their Headquarters. He also constructed an assault course in the grounds. Once a month he would travel to Coleshill to collect new stores of explosives.
