Brilliant!!

Thanks JP. Now I can't get out of the den, as my head is to swollen.

If they do wonder, it's probably along the lines of : How the hell did the BAOR become a sucess with this lot?

And the answer lies in the story of the farmer who was selling a really good looking white arab stallion.

As it pranced about the corral it would repeatably run head first into a pole in the middle of the corral.

The buyer says, " You're trying to sell me a blind horse".

"Nope, he's not blind" says the farmer, " He just doesn't give a F**K".

And that my friends explains much of the attitude of the average soldier in BAOR

Well that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.  [/quote]

   

 

Shelldrake knew that..

I was trying to find where The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment was posted to in Minden during the period 1958-60 after returning from Malaya.  There was no mention on the locations page but I found the following:

Royal Lincolnshire Regiment
10 Sep 58: Sailed from Aden in the 'Devonshire' for UK
1958.10  Germany: Elizabeth Barracks, Minden .  11 Infantry Brigade Group
1960.04  England: Doniford Barracks,Watchett

So they were in Elizabeth Barracks, Minden October 1958 to April 1960.

Sadly I can't remember where I found this information, whether it was on this site or elsewhere.  I will continue to rack my brains.

I hope this helps.

With reference to my last.  The info about The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment was on:

The Army page entitled British Army Units from 1945 on. I cannot post the link for 7 days but please PM me if you need it before that.
