Dieppe Barracks was built in the 1960s by the
British Armed Forces for the
Royal Marines and became operational in 1962. It was occupied by the
40 Commando Royal Marines of the
3 Commando Brigade from 1962 to 1971. After the British Armed Forces left Singapore, Dieppe Barracks was handed over to the
New Zealand Force South East Asia (NZFORSEA). The
1st Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, which was based in the nearby
Nee Soon Camp, then occupied Dieppe Barracks from 1971 to 1989. When the NZFORSEA departed Singapore in 1989, Dieppe Barracks was then handed over to the
Singapore Armed Forces and it has been occupied by
HQ Guards since then. ==References==
