I'm helping my husband research his family and his grandfather RSM Fred Emerson in particular. We know that Fred was in the Sherwood Foresters during WWII and that he was also in BAOR supposedly in Nuremburg. We have recently got copies of his service record which is quite informative but not when it comes to BAOR, only giving the dates he was with them 18-11-45 to 2-2-49 but no location/s. ...

Quite a time ago an older friend of our family moved house, and asked for our assistance in moving, gladly given by us. In the usual sort out, many items were regarded as no longer needed and were earmarked for "disposal" in one way or another. Amongst these items I found an interesting item which was rescued in the ...

Pete and Diddy were staunch members of the OR's Cookhouse, the Cpl's Club, Sgts Mess and Officers Mess, never turned down a free meal and were devastated whenever we went off on a scheme.

Apparently, this station was near Kassel. Does anyone know anything about this station?

Are there other unknown RAF Stations that were in Germany at various times? I know that they were possibly not "Flying" stations, but were still vital to BAOR, but where were they?

Over to you!!!

When my family and I lived in Iserlohn on Am Tyrol circa 1971-72, up the hill a bit further was the now-abandoned mansion once housing the Brigadier-General. I believe the Canadian one, but 30 years on I'm not as sure about that. I have no knowledge of why this mansion was allowed ...
