Hello Gary,
I see in your subsequent posts that you too found the second village of Box in England. I did some web research on the Wiltshire village a few years ago and there are some interesting facts concerning it.
During WWII one of the fighter command headquarters was based at BOX.
There is a famous nearby train tunnel taking that name that was once the longest such in the world. During WWI zepplin raids it is said that trains were housed inside the tunnel.
I even found a conspiracy theory based around the Box tunnel. Due to its excellent below ground protection during WWI bombings and later WWII associations, there is a belief that extended underground facilities were tunneled ajacent to the passage.
