The Crookham Park development was formerly a large barracks complex which were built in 1938 as a training depot for the Royal Army Medical Corps and comprised of 8CA4D9C0-8C5A-4DAE-9F7B-DCF82C045221-6316-0000062374FEC385wooden hutted, single storey barrack blocks designed to accommodate around 2,500 personal.

The barracks which were originally known as Boyce Barracks after Major William Wallace Boyce.  During the Golden Jubilee year of the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1948, the Colonel-in-Chief of the Corps, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, visited the depot and met with the recruits based there. It was on this occasion that the barracks were permanently renamed from Boyce Barracks to Queen Elizabeth Barracks in her honour.

The barracks were initially occupied by the Royal Army Medical Corps up until 1962 and were replaced by training regiments of the Royal Corps of Transport in 1965 and in 1971 the 7th Duke of Edinburgh’s Gurkha Rifles moved to the barracks.  After the Gurkha Regiments left in 2000, the site was decommissioned and were sold by the MOD for housing redevelopment by Taylor Wimpey. The headquarters administration building has been moved and preserved at the Aldershot Military Museum.
