    Churchill's secret British Resistance Organisation that went under the name of Auxiliary Units. When it was being first set up in July 1940 Churchill got progress reports, on one of these he added a hand written note "These men must have pistols" and as a results each man was issued with one together with a Commando Style knife.
    Has anyone seen this document and can tell me where I can get a copy please?

    Thank you kindly

    I have not explored this, it was encountered recently, though cannot now recall why.
