Military personnel from the Army and Royal Navy have played a vital role in preventing an electricity switching station in Gloucestershire from flooding. The soldiers and sailors, aided by local firefighters, were called into help after the flood waters threatened to engulf the sub station at Walham, near Gloucester, which serves half a million homes. At its peak the water reached as high as two inches from the top of a dam.
