In this, the second talk of hist eries, Major Gordon Home describes the military life and organization of the garrisons in Britain under the Roman occupation. There were three main legionary bases, with York as the headquarters of the northern military area. Well known, of course, are the two great frontier walls, whose garrison life and military purpose come into the scope of this talk. Major Homo describes the different nationalities and religions, drawn from all parts of the Empire, to be found in the ranks of the guarding legions, and he further mentions the organization of various isolated fortresses and temporary camps, and the naval bases and forts along the 'Saxon Shore.'
