==Garrison Regiments== | |||
"In addition to its own Militia Jersey was defended until the 20th century by British Army garrison troops, stationed initially in Elizabeth Castle and then Fort Regent. | |||
With the notable exception of the Battle of Jersey, when it repulsed a French invasion, the garrison never fired a shot in anger, but clearly acted as a significant deterrent against invaders. | |||
The garrison also played a major part in the social life of the island, hosting band concerts and staging military displays: officers and other ranks provided husbands for many local women. The garrison also made a significant contribution to the local economy. It created jobs for local civilians and some estimates put the amount injected into the economy as high as £2 million at today's values."
