So that's how we found that one.
Other ones, they are found by accident mainly because...
Kids found them and played.
A lot of them were in woods and things like that, obviously, for the auxiliary units.
So kids would play with them, not really understanding what they were playing with.
Yes, definitely.
Yeah, there's definitely some out there.
Obviously, the very nature of them, if they're intact, they're not to be found.
So it's really, really difficult.
Your best chance of finding them now is if there's been a slight collapse.
um so if the if the so the main chamber where the bunks are for the auxiliary units bunkers it's just made of elephant iron corrugated iron so quite but it's 80 years old now so it's starting to rust through so quite often that will rush through and collapse so you'll see like a big hole and then you'll see corrugated iron sticking out or you know the um ceramic earthenware pipes which are the air pipes they're quite good at being able to spot or water tanks provide their water things like that that's those are your
main clues the ones that exist now like how near are they to one another how many miles apart yeah so so the orcs patrols tended to be five to six miles inland so they didn't get caught up in that initial stage of an invasion and then so so in devon for example they're kind of every five miles
some closer oh quite close but they were they wouldn't they didn't know where the who was in the other patrol or where their bunker was because again security is this is there some database where they're all logged no no no because that feels like it should be there like we because
The group I volunteer for, the Coles Hill Auxiliary Research Team, our website, staybehinds.com, has got all the ones we know about.
We don't give the exact location because most of them are on private land and people will just turn up.
Yeah, yeah.
We know where a lot of them are and when we're given permission, we can go and take pictures.
So the special duties branch, you've got the civilian wireless.
I'll then talk about them being recorded.
