The Barracks, Watton is a military installation in Brecon in Wales.

History

The original barracks, which were constructed of red brick, were built at the Watton in 1805 and then extended in 1813.[1]

In 1873, as part of the Cardwell Reforms (which encouraged the localisation of British military forces),[2] the barracks became the depot for the two battalions of the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot, which began recruiting throughout South Wales. In the mid-1870s, troops from the barracks were despatched to the Cape Colony. During January 1879, the 24th Regiment became famed for its role at two momentous battles of the Anglo-Zulu War – Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift.[3] That same year, a keep, for the storage of arms and ammunition, was added to the barracks.[1]

Following the Childers Reforms, on 1 July 1881, the 24th Regiment was renamed the South Wales Borderers.[4][5]

The South Wales Borderers Museum, now the Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, opened at the barracks in 1935.[6] The barracks were designated as a Regional Seat of Government in the Cold War.[7]

Headquarters Wales was established at the barracks in 1972.[8] In 1991, the first of the minor districts to be amalgamated were North West District, the former West Midlands District (by then Western District) and Wales, to form a new Wales and Western District.[9] The enlarged district was disbanded on the formation of HQ Land Command in 1995.[10]

The barracks are now the home of 160th (Wales) Brigade.[11] In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that the site would close in 2027.[12] This decision was later scrapped under the Future Soldier reforms.[13]

Irreligion in Lebanon

Irreligion is very uncommon in Lebanon, as Islam and Christianity are the predominant faiths.[1][2] It is difficult to quantify the number of atheists or agnostics in Lebanon as they are not officially counted in the census of the country.[2] The Lebanese Constitution guarantees the freedom of belief. There is a great stigma attached to being an atheist in Lebanon, thus many Lebanese atheists communicate via the internet.[2][dubious – discuss]...
