Other information
A letter sent to Major Peter Forbes from Sergeant Lilico written from the Patrol's base at Greenlaw, is mostly personal/social, with New Year greetings, but Lilico does say at one point "I am sorry to say that all the good men feel that their chance is over now, we seem to have been cast aside like some old equipment..." He also discusses the state of their old buildings and another officer.
The BEM was awarded to Lillico in December 1944. This was for his duties in the ‘Home Guard.’
