After being constructed in the early Fifties, Fort MacLeod was home to many Canadian infanteers up until it was transferred to British hands in 1970. The barracks, which adjoined to Fort Prince of Wales/Peninsula Barracks, were then retitled Barrosa Barracks after the battle of Barrosa.

3 RRF were the last regiment to be accommodated here, the camp being handed back to the Stadt late in 1992.

There was a path that led down from Deilinghofen to the barracks and this photo appears to have been taken on that path. The 1956 photo of the front gate was taken from the bottom of that path. It was a well worn bit of ground as the Deilinghofen end of it had a Gasthof, then called Meyer’s. A great number of Regimental prayer meetings and glee club sing-alongs, were held there.
