Military history

In June 1942, 17th (Service) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (Empire) was stationed in the Hampshire and Dorset District of England, conducting intensive training and assigned to a counter-attack defense role for the Gosport and Lee-on-Solent airfields.

Because the 17th Battalion was on a "lower establishment" home defence status in the Hampshire/Dorset district during June 1942, they were not engaged in overseas active combat at this time. Most casualties in home-stationed units during this period resulted from training accidents, localized air raids, or illness while preparing replacement troops.
