Caregan Barracks

Caregan Barracks, or Caregan training camp, was an army barracks close to Cowbridge. It was home to the Southern Welsh Regiment.

The barracks was property of the Ministry of Defence. In the mid 2000s, the base commander was Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Yorke.

Sergeant Anthony Bee and Sergeant Sandra Applegate were stationed at Caregan Barracks. Sergeant Bee stole a Land Rover Wolf from the base and drove it at the exit barrier, where he was confronted by Privates Kandahal and Foxton. He shot Kandahal and was himself shot by Foxton.

The barracks was surrounded by a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. Signs placed at intervals along the fence notified "unauthorised persons" of the Official Secrets Act, describing the risk of arrest and prosecution. (PROSE: Another Life)
