	Inkerman Barracks, Woking Date of construction 1859 (Converted to barracks in 1892) The barracks were named after the Battle of Inkerman fought during the Crimean War on 5 November 1854. In 1892 a prison for invalid convicts at Knaphill, near Woking, was converted to house two battalions of infantry. The first infantry battalion to be quartered there in 1895 was 2nd Battalion The Royal West Surrey Regiment (The Queen's). In September 1947 the Royal Military Police moved to Inkerman Barracks, establishing Inkerman as the home of the Corps. Now Demolished. Photo: Inkerman Barracks c1950.

	Another thought. Is your friend sure he was in the RAF? Looking at the (incomplete) list on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Royal_Air_Force_aircraft_squadrons the only one with 715 against the name is 715 Naval Air Squadron

	That's a nuisance - How about Rootschat? Although I don't use it, they have a military forum Added - a free search on http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/ There are a number of RAF Sergeant Warne's listed.
