English: Largest extant building on Bushfield Camp Bushfield Camp was an army training camp functioning during WWII and also used to train recruits to the Green Jackets Brigade between 1961-64. It was also used to train National Servicemen in the 1950s who subsequently went to Malaya or Germany. Several people who were trained there suggest that this building was the armoury, which would account for the raised skylightas and absence of ordinary windows. The interior walls of this building are covered by modern graffiti paintings. A National Serviceman tells me that he spent three months at the camp training from July 1949. At that time the camp was jointly run by the Rifle Brigade and the King's Royal Rifle Corps, both of these regiments subsequently becoming part of the Royal Green Jackets. The internet is strangely silent about the history of Bushfield Camp. It is totally derelict today. The area is the subject of an ongoing debate as to its future unsure. The camp was the home of The Green Jackets Brigade from 1958 while Peninsula Barracks, Romsey Roadd was being refurbished. Peninsula Barracks was known as The Rifle Depot once The RGJ was formed in Jan 1966.
