Green Jacket Close

Upon our formation in 2007, Green Jacket Close was absorbed into The Rifles Benevolent Trust and their occupation was opened to all members of the forming and antecedent regiments, as well as those who continue to serve with The Rifles. 

The properties, which consisted of four pairs of semi-detached cottages, were built as a memorial to the 44 Officers and 550 men of the KRRC and the Rifle Brigade who had been killed in action or died of wounds or disease during the Boer War. One of the pairs of the 60th cottages were dedicated in memory of Prince Christian Victor, and another pair of 95th cottages were given by the Duke of Connaught.
