Jock Bruce Posted 25 January , 2004 Share Posted 25 January , 2004 Eh? I don't think a unit in South Wales would be part of the 'Humber Garrison' - it would be part of the 'Severn Garrison'. Brig James must have been having an off day. For Blackblue - Severn is the river that divides SW England from Wales. 'Severn Garrison' presumably was made up of troops protecting docks, etc in South Wales. Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
