The former Sandes Soldiers’ Home was built in 1928 as a welfare facility for servicemen by the Christian charity started by Elise Sandes in Ireland in 1869. It was built following a request from General Sir Charles Harington and was one of the first wave of new buildings built at Catterick following the decision in 1923 to make the First World War training camp permanent.
