St. Monance Patrol
Obvious targets include main roads, crossroads and rail lines, along with other opportunist targets and assisting other nearby Patrols.
Training was conducted at Melville House regularly by resident Scout Section from the Royal Scots. More local training was carried out at a local rifle range and a quarry for demolition instruction and training.
