Tidworth Camp is a military installation at Tidworth in Wiltshire. ==History== The Camp was established when the War Office acquired Tedworth House and large tracts of land to the north of the house in 1897.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tidworth Concise History )〕 Southern Command was established at Tidworth Camp in 1905.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=General Sir Ian Hamilton )〕 Lucknow Barracks and Mooltan Barracks were completed in 1905, Tidworth Military Hospital was finished in 1907 and a Royal Ordnance depot was established during the First World War.〔 Aliwal Barracks, Assaye Barracks, Bhurtpore Barracks, Candahar Barracks, Delhi Barracks and Jellalabad Barracks were added later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tidworth Overview )〕 The names of the barracks evoke memories of battles in India and Afghanistan (e.g. Aliwal, Assaye, Bhurtpore, Candahar, Delhi, Jellalabad, Lucknow and Mooltan). During the Second World War the Camp was home to 8th Armored Division, a formation of the United States Army. A branch from the Midland and South Western Junction Railway at Ludgershall was built in 1901 and opened to passengers in 1902. Goods tracks known as Tidworth Military Railway continued from Tidworth station into the military area. The branch returned to military control in 1955 and was closed in 1963.〔 Tidworth Military Cemetery was set up to serve the barracks. It includes the war graves of 417 Commonwealth service personnel of the First World War and 106 of the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tidworth Military Cemetery )〕 Southern Command left the Camp and moved to Erskine Barracks near Fugglestone St Peter in 1949. The Military Hospital closed in March 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tidworth Military Hospital )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tidworth Camp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
