Welsh Brigade Depot, Cwrt-y-Gollen opened by HM The Queen, 1963.
When the Regimental Depot at Wrexham closed in 1960 recruit training for the three Welsh regiments was transferred to Cwrt-y-Gollen Camp, near Crickhowell. Following a major rebuild HM The Queen opened the new camp in the presence of the Colonels of the three Welsh regiments with representative detachments from each. Adult recruit training was moved to Lichfield in 1982 and Cwrt-y-Gollen was closed in 1986.

If anyone has more photos of the Deport we would love to see them.
