Queen Elizabeth Barracks was used for basic ytraining. AfterNational Service finished, I am told by an ex RSM, it was used by the Ghurkas, until it was sold for building to Taylor Woodrow I and some members of the RAMC Association Manchester Branch went to the barracks in June 2007 before the demolition, andwas given a tour of the Camp.Royal Army Medical Corps Crookham Barracks, in 1956

My greatest memories are of Meanee barracks, where I met some great mates, one of whome was Des Graves. We were in the RPs together for a short while. For some daft reason or other, we were all looking forwards to going to Suez. We were all kitted out with puttees and shorts, and looked the bees knees. For example, I can’t for the life of me, figure out why we, in the RAMC,were put on the firing range. I was given an old 303, with three rounds, each of which kicked up dust, about 30 yards in front. Brilliant days.Royal Army Medical Corps Crookham Barracks, in 1956
