Thanks Nathan!

You certainly have!

 I have also added references to both the new tags in all the military=*

I'll just sit back & put my feet up now - you've done all the work! :-)

I would think it could be done either way, depending on how finely anybody
wishes to map? If they want to map every accommodation building as
=barracks, that should be fine. Alternatively, if they just mapped the area
of "Quarters" as =barracks, that should also work (assuming of course that
they can identify them as such)

Thanks
