The patrol names for the west of Hampshire and the New Forest have been identified from National Archives file WO199/3391, but are not divided by patrol. The nominal roll gives the surname, initials, ID card number and address, together with date of birth. The patrols have been arranged according to the addresses and ID card numbers around known patrol leaders. This means the allocations may not be completely accurate. Additional personal information such as first names and dates of death have been added using the 1911 census, Ancestry.com and FreeBMD.com. Some men, particularly those from the Ringwood area where there are several patrols, could not be allocated with any confidence to one patrol or another, so are listed here.
Sergeant Adams and George Broomfield both lived in Forester’s cottages so were likely employed in this role. They lived at Denny Lodge and Lodge Hill respectively. Lionel Wren was a Keeper, an Official appointment, which merited mention in the London Gazette in 1936.
