List of British Army Garrisons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of British Army Garrisons

A garrison town is typically a group of multiple camps grouped around one central town, that often highly depends on the military presence; however sometimes they are just the aggregation of all military units stationed within a larger city (in the case of London, Edinburgh, York, Cheshire, and Merseyside).
