Catterick Garrison
Catterick Garrison is a major garrison and town located 3 miles south of Richmond in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England.
It is the largest British Army garrison in the world with a population of around 13,000 and measuring over 2,400 acres, however under plans announced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in November 2005, the population of Catterick Garrison is expected to grow to over 25,000 by 2020, making it the largest population centre in the local area.〔

==History==
The siting of the garrison was first recommended by Robert Baden-Powell who founded the Scouting movement in 1908 whilst he was based at the army barracks—at that time located in Richmond Castle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Catterick Garrison - About Us )〕 On 12 August 1914, the order was issued for the construction of the camp, following the outbreak of the First World War. The original intention for Catterick was to be a temporary camp to accommodate two complete divisions with around 40,000 men in 2,000 huts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Catterick Garrison's Early History )〕 The base was originally named ''Richmond Camp'' until being changed to ''Catterick Camp'' in 1915, later modified to ''Catterick Garrison''. After serving as a prisoner of war camp at the end of the First World War, the idea to make Catterick a permanent military barracks was first suggested after the partitioning of Ireland in 1921, the required land was purchased and building plans were put forward in 1923. Construction was undertaken by John Laing & Son〔Ritchie, p. 57〕 and by the mid 1930s most of the camp's facilities were complete, during the Second World War the camp was once again used to house prisoners of war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Every prisoner of war camp in the UK mapped and listed )〕
