History
The barracks were built as a cavalry barracks and completed in 1845.[1] During the First World War they were known as the Cavalry Barracks and served as the 4th cavalry depot providing accommodation for the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays), the 3rd Dragoon Guards, the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, the Carabiniers (6th Dragoon Guards), the 7th Dragoon Guards and the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons.[2] The barracks were renamed Raglan Barracks after FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan in 1963.[1] They are now home to 104th Regiment Royal Artillery.[3]
