More than 200 years of Australian military history could be at risk.
Lancer Barracks has stood in the heart of Parramatta for more than two centuries. It is far more than a collection of historic buildings — it is a living part of the military, community and heritage story of Parramatta, New South Wales and Australia.
For generations, soldiers have passed through these gates. The Barracks has a long association with the NSW Lancers and today remains connected with the 1st/15th Royal New South Wales Lancers.
It is also home to the NSW Lancers Memorial Museum, where the stories, photographs, uniforms, vehicles, artefacts and memories of generations of service are preserved and shared with the public.
Now, the future of this remarkable historic precinct is uncertain.
Once a historic military precinct like Lancer Barracks is lost, it cannot simply be recreated somewhere else. The buildings may be preserved in photographs and the objects may be moved, but the connection between the history and the place where that history happened can never truly be replaced.
That is why public awareness matters.
If you believe Lancer Barracks and its history are worth preserving, please stand with us.
Visit www.lancers.org.au to learn more, follow the NSW Lancers Memorial Museum, and most importantly, share this post with your friends, family, veterans, local residents and anyone who cares about Australian history.
Every share helps more people understand what is at stake.
Help us save Lancer Barracks.
