Its Headquarters were based in Queen’s Gardens, Bayswater, London; but it moved to Horse Guards, London SW1 by 1930. As one of the five Home Commands within the United Kingdom, it was a Lieutenant General (or General’s) command, who was the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief. This meant he had complete jurisdiction of all land forces within his command. Eastern Command in 1939 comprised the counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex (except Purfleet and Rainham Rifle Range, and the Guards Barracks at Warley – when occupied by the Foot Guards – which all came under the London District), Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Middlesex, Kent, Sussex and Surrey (less the area within Aldershot Command).
