Corporal Robinson
Biography

Corporal Robinson is mentioned in a list of training events kept by Wharram Patrol Leader Harry Milsom. It seems likely that he was a member of the Scout Section. The date was May 24 and the location Settrington, though the year is not known. This is significant as the Wharram Patrol was in the  North Yorkshire command area until the end of 1941 and thus he might be a member of the North Yorkshire Scout Section. However, Corporal Robinson is also mentioned in a letter about training to Sergeant Stanley French of Hornsea Patrol from Lieutenant Walter Kitching, the Group Commander. He was due to attend on Thursday 25 November, though again the year is not stated. However, a check of the calendar shows that this must have been 1943. This means he would likely have been part of a combined Scout Section or training pool at that time, which thus does not resolve the issue of his parent unit.
