115 Provost Company (1)
113 Provost Company

Closed 20 July 1994

(1) Later becoming 113 Provost Company.

The barracks were initially occupied by the Canadians who named it Fort Victoria. On transition to British hands in 1970 it was then renamed it Vittoria (sic?) Barracks.

Vittoria Barracks was taken over by BAOR from the Canadians and the Royal Military Police moved in. My late husband was stationed there from August 1981 until January 1985. He was a SSgt and was CQMS. His stores were the church. He had me scrubbing and cleaning the place out after it was deconsecrated. The unit started off as 115 Pro Coy but became 113. Also at one time RMP from all over Germany went there to be trained in Close Protection procedures. Whilst we were there the Black Watch were in the adjoining Barracks. There was a good rapport with the regiment after a while and good friends were made.
