The British Resistance Archive is an online publishing space and internal network for serious and dedicated researchers who focus on the British Resistance during World War II. The Archive is managed by The Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART). CART is made up of select volunteer historians and published writers known as County Information Officers (CIOS) and also public members. CART is not a

business or an academic body of professional researchers. CART is non-profit making and has no financial support from any company or organisation. It is funded solely by donations and the revenue it makes from the sale of various items sold in the shop. Since CART's birth in June 2009 the website has seen over 150,000 unique visitors and has attracted TV, Radio and national press attention.

The Scout Sections were made up of regular army men who trained the Auxiliers in the county areas. We don't know of a list of those involved in each Section so it is taking a lot of research and good luck to identify each man. was your relative part of the Scout Section?

Tonight was the night that Jock Riding set off to take part in Operation gain. He was presented with a Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife in 1942. The etched initials of the presenter of the knife are R.L.C.R, though it is not known who this is.
Anyone know ?

Buckler’s Hard Wartime Weekend event in Hampshire.
There will be a free Buckler’s Hard Wartime Weekend on 13th – 14th June when there will be talks, exhibitions, the Portsmouth Model Boat display team, vehicles and stands. You can also step aboard HMS Medusa, a WW2 Harbour Defence Motor Launch, moored on the river for the weekend.

Best of all, obviously, is that CART will be there. Come along and say Hi.

The Buckler’s Hard Shipyard Trust will also have an exhibition ‘Beaulieu River at War’ which will be exploring the impact of the Second World War on the Beaulieu River and Estate from 22nd-May to end October. Our mate Dan Snow History Hit opened the exhibition.
