Latchford Barracks (formerly the Bonegilla Army Camp) is an Australian Army base in Bonegilla, located about 8 km (5 mi) to the east of Wodonga.[1] It is named after Colonel E.W. Latchford, MBE, MC (1889–1962).[2] The base was established in 1940 as the Bonegilla Army Camp with the current barracks being formally opened in 1983 following the redevelopment of the base in 1978.[3] The barracks is host to the Army Logistic Training Centre.[4] The Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre was located at the barracks, prior to the barracks being reused for military purposes.
