The Patrol OB was a standard "Elephant" type shelter built oriented east to west. The site was near the road to Longframlington on the edge of a wood. The whole site has changed since WW2. The OB was still intact but went into a landfill site that was re-landscaped. Nothing now remains. It is remembered there was a wireless in the OB.
Felton Patrol
Likely targets included RAF Acklington and RAF Eshott as well as the East Coast main railway line. The A1 main road and the bridges on the River Coquet at Brainshaugh, Felton, Weldon Bridge and Pauperhaugh.
The army camp at Acton Hall was also thought to be on the list of targets for this Patrol.
Training took place in the Felton Quarries as well as more locally on Patrol member's farms.
The Patrol Sergeant and Lieutenant also went to Coleshill House for specialist training with the Patrol also attending Cupar in Fife for Commando courses.
Middleton Hall and the Otterburn Ranges would also have been used for training purposes with the regular Army.
The Patrol seem to have been equipped with the Auxiliary Unit Mark 2 kit and a .22 snipper rifle.
The Morpeth Herald newspaper reported the inquest into the death of Lieutenant Jimmy Robinson on the 23 July 1943 at Alnwick Courthouse.
The Patrol had been practicing with explosives when a large rock became dislodged and landed on Lieutenant Robinson carrying him down a slope. He suffered a dislocation of the right hip joint, two fractured ribs on his left side and a fracture through his left scapula. He was admitted to Alnwick Infirmary on 23 June 1943.
He died on the 7 July 1943 with the cause of death being a pulmonary embolism and infraction following the injuries to the lower part of his body. The verdict was "accidental death". Lieutenant Jimmy Robinson was 33 years old married with two children.
