KRR Tourney Barracks. Saunders
« on: Wednesday 04 April 12 17:09 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have a South Farnborough 1927 marriage cert where the groom's address is KRR Tourney Barracks.
I know that George Saunders 1901-1961 was in the Army but can someone tell me what KRR stands for, please?

Here is a link to Tournay/Tourney barracks, Aldershot - http://www3.hants.gov.uk/aldershot-museum/local-history-aldershot/barracks/tournay-barracks.htm

It was the 2nd Battalion of the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in Aldershot from 1925 to 1928, when they moved to Tidworth; then to Belfast in 1932. As he served after 1920 you will have to apply to the MOD for his service record.

Hello Ken,
Many thanks for that. I know George was in Africa for a while because I have photos, but not sure if that was before he married or after. He also served during WW1 under age
in Royal Engineers Inland Waterways and Docks
 MOD here I come.  After I have looked up how to do it.
