64 Ordnance Company RAOC

Closed 26 July 1994

This barracks is located within a set of rail heads and was obviously a bakery – judging by the gateposts. It has the large warehouses also associated with Fallingbostel, Hohne, Osnabrück. Can you imagine ourselves having the confidence to set a barracks purpose in stone (the gate posts)? Wonder if they make portacabin effigies?

Home to 64 Ordnance Company of 6 Ordnance Battalion RAOC. They were responsible for rations and also supplied Petrol Oils & Lubricants to units within 1 BR Corps area. 85 Supply Depot RAOC supplied rations, both compo and fresh along with a full blown bakery and butchery.
