Queen Elizabeth Barracks was a military installation at Church Crookham, Hampshire, England.
The barracks, which were originally known as Boyce Barracks after Major William Wallace Boyce, DSO, RAMC, were built as a training depot for the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1938. The barracks were renamed Queen Elizabeth Barracks following a visit by Queen Elizabeth in 1948. The wooden hutted camp, with barrack blocks arranged as 'spiders', could accommodate 2,500 soldiers.
The Royal Army Medical Corps left the site in 1962 and were replaced by training regiments of the Royal Corps of Transport in 1965 and by Gurkha Regiments in 1970. After the Gurkha Regiments left in 2000, the site was decommissioned and acquired by Bryant Homes in 2002. It has since been renamed Khukri Park. The main administration building was moved to the Aldershot Military Museum.
