Clive Barracks
Clive Barracks is a military installation at Ternhill in Shropshire in Western England.
==History==
The barracks were established, on the site of the former RAF Ternhill airbase, in 1976: they were initially named Borneo Barracks〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAF Ternhill )〕 before being renamed Clive Barracks after Major-General Lord Clive who had been born in Shropshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment )〕 Some of the early units to use the site were the Queen's Lancashire Regiment who moved there in 1980〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queen's Lancashire Regiment )〕 and the Royal Welch Fusiliers who moved there in 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Welch Fusiliers )〕
On 20 February 1989, two IRA bombers activated two bombs within the accommodation barracks at Tern Hill. At that time the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment (who had arrived in 1987)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2nd Bn Parachute Regiment )〕 and the 1st Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (who had arrived in 1989)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Duke of Wellington's Regiment )〕 were located at the base. A sentry spotted two men behaving suspiciously and raised the alarm, the barracks were evacuated shortly before the bombs exploded therefore preventing certain loss of life. One of the accommodation blocks was destroyed in the blast (which was reported to have been heard away in Shrewsbury). The bombers escaped by hijacking a car from a house down the road from the barracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1989: IRA bombs Tern Hill barracks )〕
Since 2007 the barracks have been the home of 1 Royal Irish Regiment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Irish Regiment )〕
