… Falkirk battlefield walk.
"The text reads: "During the Second World War Callendar Estate allowed Falkirk Home Guard to use the land near Auchingean School as a training ground."
"Here the volunteer soldiers learned their field craft – how to use natural cover to cross the landscape, crawl in the mud and use semi-artillery including the Northover Projector. This was manned by a four man crew and difficult to manoeuvre." "The platoons of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Stirlingshire Home Guard took it in turn to camp in the school buildings at weekends."…" link Armand |

I can personally confirm this. My mothers family were game keepers on those estates and talked of this after the war. x42 |
