The farming community, whose eldest sons were in a reserved occupation, provided perhaps the largest pool of volunteers. One farmer’s son, Geoffrey Morgan-Jones from Herefordshire, was told that their job was to be ‘a bloody nuisance to Jerry’. Others such as senior scouts and gamekeepers were picked, and even known poachers were considered. The Patrol sergeants were local, respected men and each county was under the control of an Intelligence Officer. qxd 6/3/09 08:53 Page 41 best known of these was Peter Fleming, brother of the novelist Ian Fleming, who established patrols in Kent in 1940.

The arrival of US forces from 1942 onwards marked a turning point in the war and the recognition that Britain’s darkest days were coming to a close.
