  Not sure whether this is the right board to post this msg on but will also post same msg on R**tschat to spread the net far and wide.
  
  I am told my Grandfather, an Air Raid Warden and roof tiler during WW2 in London also tended the very small garden at the back of the block of flats were he and my Grand Mother lived. One day he noticed the flower bed had been disturbed and decided it was too large to have been caused by a cat and investigated. He uncovered two German Passports which he duly reported to Police and the GP who had a consulting room on the ground floor of the block of flats was arrested as a spy. I imagine events like that would not have been reported in the newspaper because of alerting the enemy but could anybody suggest if reports were kept where might they be held so that I can obtain copies?

  Kew perhaps. We attended a weekend there some years back which was dedicated to spying through the ages.
