Crossed Kukris is a Gurkha Brigade (63rd?) - Correction Crossed Kukris on dark green is 17th Gurkha Division - Post War in Malaya.
Stonehenge is Salisbury Plain District, Southern Command

Generally speaking, Salisbury Plain District was a sub-HQ of Southern Command. It undertook an administrative rather than an operational command of all 'static' units based within its geographical area. The exact dimension of which I do not know but it included Salisbury Plain & Wiltshire: post 1944 this included Dorset as well.
Static units were non-Field Force. i.e. training units, PoW Camps, barrack staff, local defence units plus the administration of the Home Guard. Home Guard themselves would not have worn the badges though. Stephen. |
