Aldershot Military Town is the area between Aldershot and the North Camp area of Farnborough which is the location for all the military buildings, including married quarters, barracks, army playing fields and other sporting facilities, etc., mostly centred around Queen's Avenue. The military town includes the Aldershot Observatory and the Aldershot Military Cemetery, the Royal Garrison Church and other garrison churches, as well as barracks for The Royal Military Police. The town used to be the corps headquarters for the Royal Corps of Transport and the Army Catering Corps, these were merged into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993 and moved to Deepcut, however units of these corps remain in Aldershot.
A statue of the first Duke of Wellington mounted on his horse, Copenhagen, is situated on Round Hill behind the Royal Garrison Church.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot as a garrison town in the 1850s, at the time of the Crimean War, having a wooden Royal Pavilion built there which they would often stay in when attending reviews of the army. In 1860 Albert established and endowed The Prince Consort's Library there, which still exists today.
Aldershot Military Town is separate to the town of Aldershot and comes under its own military jurisdiction. It was the homebase for The Parachute Regiment from its formation in 1940 until it moved to Colchester Garrison in 2003. Many famous people have been associated with the Military Town, including Charlie Chaplin who made his first stage appearance in The Canteen theatre aged 5 in 1894, Winston Churchill, who was based here in the 19th century, and just about every famous soldier of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The area also houses various military and regimental museums, including the Aldershot Military Museum, housed in a red-brick Victorian barracks, [4and The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Museum.
