peterhodgkinson Posted 17 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 17 April , 2010 Many thanks. So, Temple went out of post 24/8/16, to be replaced by GRV Steward, who went out of post 31/3/17, Temple returned, to be replaced by BR Brewin 25/5/17. I have Brewin going out of post 19/6/17, so who commands until the battalion is disbanded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
