Cut benchmark in the wall of the Barracks, Watton (B4601), Brecon

"The original barracks, which were constructed of red brick, were built at the Watton in 1805 and then extended in 1813. It was from here that troops were despatched to the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879. A keep, for the storage of arms and ammunition, was added to the barracks in 1879. The barracks became the home of the South Wales Borderers from 1881 and the South Wales Borderers Museum opened at the barracks in 1935. The barracks were designated as a Regional Seat of Government in the Cold War. The barracks are now the home of 160th (Wales) Brigade."
