Yambol's Army's Emblem

This emblem is fixed the wall on the offices of Yambol's army barracks therefore I presume is the emblem of the Bulgarian army. 1886 is of course the year of Bulgaria's independence from the Ottoman Turks and the picture is of the Bulgarian version of St George slaying the dragon. By the way St George's Day (George Name Day) is on the 6th May and St George is the patron Saint of the Bulgarian Army.

The Old Entrance To The Yambol Army Barracks

This is the old entrance gates to the Yambol Army base and is as far as I can work out only used by a skeleton staff now. Under NATO cover looking inside the ground it is like a ghost town with derelict building and weed-covered grounds. The gate however seems to be kept in prime condition with the Bulgarian and NATO emblems complimenting each other. Bulgaria became a NATO member in 2004 by the way.
