	Barracks
		British Army barracks, as opposed to Naval or Marine barracks, are named on the basis of various principles, usually depending on the whim of the units resident there at the time of the naming ceremony.
		On the other hand, shortly after a war or military campaign, new barracks are typically named after a significant battle honour or some significant location during the war associated with the particular regiment or corps for whom the barracks is being built.
		In a major military encampment, say, for example, where a number of different unit barracks are co-located in one area, it used to be the practice that each one would be named after a battle in the same general campaign or area of operations.
