Looking for information: When did 37 AER arrrive in Osnabruck from Crickhowell, Wales? I believe late 1950, but have seen listed as 1951, but I arrived February 1951 and the unit was already established. The other half of the barracks was occupied by another AER, if I remember 38 AER? Also maybe in Roberts was a REME unit, perhaps even a postal detachment? Have looked at the RE ...

I know this is not strictly BAOR history, but may be of some interest in any case. Here are a couple of images from postcards: The first is from around 1925 and shows members of 1st Bn, Inf Regt 78, 1 & 2 Coy.

I have a price list from the Village which was located at 1 Herrenteich Str. which dates from about 1978. At that time £1 was about 4 DM. A large Edelpils cost 3 DM. A measure of Asbach 2.50, a shot of Apfel Korn 1.50.
