No. 2 E S D Liphook was a sub-depot of No 1 Engineers Stores Group, Long Marston.
I was stationed there from March 1948 till June 1949. I was a Regimental Police
N C O  at that time. The C O's name I cannot remember, however the Adjutant's
name Captain Hudson, rudely nicknamed " Soapy".
There were only about  70 or 80 military staff, but a large number of civilians,
employed  in the work-shops,repairing and forwarding equipment to other units.
The unit had it's own railway sidings, Power  house, and Fire Brigade.
There was also a large canteen which was only to cater for the civilians,
who were much better fed than the troops!!
Hope this is of some interest!
Regards.
