Is this where they trained the signalmen who talked to the Americans during the war? That’s what I heard anyway. Look around you. This sprawling complex of buildings is Simpson Barracks. It’s a cornerstone of Australian military history, named after Major General Colin Hall Simpson. He was a bit of a legend. Simpson was the Signals Officer-in-Charge of Allied Land Forces during World War II. Simpson Barracks isn’t just a collection of buildings. It’s the beating heart of several key military units. The Defence Force School of Signals is here, shaping the future of military communications. The barracks also house the Financial Services Unit, the Defence Force School of Music and the headquarters of 4th Brigade. And let’s not forget the depots for the 4th/19th Prince of Wales’s Light Horse Regiment and 108th Signals Squadron. You’ll also find the main workshop for the 105 Field Workshop (RAEME) here. It’s a busy place, let me tell you. And if you’re interested in military history, you’re in for a treat. Simpson Barracks is home to the Royal Australian Army Corps of Signals Museum and the Royal Australian Army Pay Corps Museum. You can almost hear the echoes of bugle calls and marching boots. Each brick seems to whisper stories of service and sacrifice. Simpson Barracks isn’t just a military base. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of the Australian Army.
