Latchford Barracks (formerly the Bonegilla Army Camp) is an Australian Army base in Bonegilla, located about 8 km (5 mi) to the east of Wodonga. It is named after Colonel E.W. Latchford, MBE, MC (1889–1962). The base was established in 1940 as the Bonegilla Army Camp with the current barracks being formally opened in 1983 following the redevelopment of the base in 1978. The barracks is host to the Army Logistic Training Centre. The Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre was located at the barracks, prior to the barracks being reused for military purposes.
