Former Green Howard Dave Malcolm is now the Ulster Political Researh Group's representative in Londonderry and his memories of his time stationed at Ebrington have led him to set up the site to document the changes at Ebrington and for servicemen to share their stories.
During a visit to the site with Ilex on April 23, Mr Malcolm took a number of pictures of the ongoing renovation process at the site that and these are available to view along with a commentary on the buildings, most of which are now rubble.
Mr Malcolm's regiment, the 1st Green Howards were amalgamated into the Yorkshire regiment as part of the re-organisation of the infantry in 2004. He says the site will stand as a legacy to Ebrington's military past.
"The intention is to leave the website as a legacy so people can see what happens to the Ebrington," he says.
The base has been there for 162 years and all the buildings built after 1875 will be demolished. In 10 years you won't recognise the place. I want to capture the redevelopment of the base as it changes to become a community resource.
"We went there on a tour of the site with Ilex and that brought back a lot of memories. It was very sad, seeing everything flattened, but we're particularly sad that there are no plans for a permanent memorial to the servicemen who lived there. It's almost like that period has been airbrushed out of history. We don't want 30 years of service gone unrecognised. From an ex-forces point of view, we will never forget."
Mr Malcolm says he has been told a memorial is out of the question but is hopeful forces personnel will receive some form of recognition.
"We've been told a memorial is out of the question but we want a tangible, permanent and visible reminder that soldiers died or served here, even if its just street names or something within a museum setting.
"It seems that the Assembly, or certain individuals within the assembly, are using the shared spaces initiative to deprive the forces of a role in the history of Northern Ireland."
However, Mr Malcolm is confident Ebrington's change of role to a site for housing, the Arts, Culture and Heritage and a resource for the Waterside area of the City of Londonderry is to be welcomed.
"Anything that benefits the city has to be welcomed. From what I understand the parade square looks set to be changed into a plaza, the biggest in Europe and that has to be good for the city."
