Hugh Basil Williamson (1908 - 1992)

Hi  I have just joined this forum as I have an interest in Hugh Basil Williamson and have seen his name mentioned here.  I am particularly trying  to research his military career.  |I have seen one post which talks about him joining 'BAAG'  what is this please ?

 

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated.

Regards

British military training with live ammo in country parks?

Those of us who metal detect will of course be familiar with the blank rounds which litter the countryside from British army training in the 80s. However, recently I have found fired bullets (not casings) around various spots in Hong Kong, near or on major hiking routes like the MacLehose trail, sometimes smack dab in the center of the path where hundreds of thousands of hikers have likely trodden.

Military construction? [????- ]

Didn't expect to come across this building hidden among thick vegetation with a wide trench nearby.
