A Hoare, in his book 'Standing up to Hitler' (2002 on his map on page 222) has marked the village of Carleton Rode as the location of the Patrol’s OB.
One look at the Patrol members’ names and their addresses, however, reveals that two villages have been confused here and that it is not Carleton Rode but that Carleton St Peter is the correct location.
The two villages are about 15 miles distant from each other, one being south east and the other south west of Norwich. The Patrol members’ addresses place the men firmly in two villages near the hamlet of Carleton St Peter, Rockland St Mary and Claxton.
Their names are still well remembered in the area but nobody we asked knew about the men’s wartime activities or had information as to the whereabouts of an underground structure in the area.
