The war diary of the 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) mentions 'A' Squadron billeting 'on farm at Chilford Hall' during the high summer of 1940. Sale's collection includes a series of photographs showing farm animals, tractor rides and some likely candidates for the farmer and his family.
