| Paderborn became BFPO 22 when 20 Bde moved from Detmold.
BFBS used to be housed in a private house and broadcast from Cologne, their address was BFPO 19 ( the RC Retreat Centre was also housed in another private house not far away thjeir BFPO was also 19)! | |

It could be, Tom, it could be. The BAOR and BFPO numbers are on a page of their own here:- http://baor-locations.com/BFPO.aspxIt is thought that the BFPO system did not come into effect until 1957, so there could be a difference there. There is reference to 115 Company being in the Hook from 1954, but we have no other details at present. Do you have any, by chance? Paul. | |

| hi Paul, BFPO was up and running in 1954/55 when i was at the Hook, But I'm sorry I've no other details, I left the army in 1956 and my home camp in Kettwig changed it's post number but for the life of me i can not remember sorry! Tom. | |

| Hi all,
Each BFPO had at least one post office manned by Royal Enginners These units used "Field Post Office" circular date stamps, with a number at the bottom which was not the BFPO number Anyone have list of the field post offices and numbers? This list would have included field post offices throughout the world, and may have even started in WW1?
Cheers Tony

| British Forces Post Office In the immediate post war era facilities for both official and private mail to and from the UK as well as internally within BAOR were the responsibility of the Royal Engineers Postal Services organisation. Within the British Zone the equivalent of the modern Post Code system was introduced with BAOR numbers being allocated to every major Garrison or RAF Station. Mail for the subordinate or outlying units was redistributed from these nodal points. JPW BAOR 1 - Bad Oeynhausen/HQ BAOR
BAOR 2 - Berlin/RAF Gatow
BAOR 3 - Hamburg
BAOR 4 - Düsseldorf/Duisburg/Essen/Mulheim/Wuppertal?
BAOR 5 - Hannover/Hameln?/RAF Wunstorf
BAOR 6 - Kiel/Plön/Neumünster
BAOR 7 - Not in use (1)
BAOR 8 - Lüneburg
BAOR 9 - Wuppertal?
BAOR 10 - Osnabrück
BAOR 11 - Braunschweig/Wolfenbuttel?
BAOR 12 - Münster
BAOR 13 - RAF Sylt
BAOR 14 - Dortmund/Witten Annan/Wetter
BAOR 15 - Herford/Detmold/Bad Salzulfen?
BAOR 16 - Paderborn/Bad Lippspringe/Sennelager
BAOR 17 - Not in use (1)
BAOR 18 -
BAOR 19 - Köln/Bonn/RAF Wahn/Wahnerheide/RAF Butzweilerhof
BAOR 20 - Soltau?/Munsterlager
BAOR 21 - Frankfurt/Baden Baden
BAOR 22 - Lübeck
BAOR 23 - Celle/Hohne/RAF Fassberg
NOT YET IDENTIFIED/CONFIRMED:
AACHEN, BAD SALZUFLEN, BRITISH TROOPS BELGIUM, BUNDE, GOTTINGEN, HAMM, HILDEN, HUSUM, ITZEHOE, MUNSTERLAGER, SOLTAU, WOLFENBUTTEL, WUPPERTAL
In 1957 the current world wide system of BFPO numbers was first introduced to British Forces based in Germany. This necessitated some changes to the previous BAOR numbers to both avoid duplication and reflect the major reorganisations being implemented throughout the former British Zone of Germany. JPW
BFPO 15 - Herford
BFPO 16 - Sennelager/Paderborn BFPO 17 - Münster BFPO 18 - Maastricht (Netherlands) BFPO 19 - Köln/Bonn BFPO 20 - Dortmund BFPO 21 - Emblem (Belgium) BFPO 22 - Lübbecke BFPO 23 - Celle BFPO 24 - Iserlohn BFPO 25 - Brüggen BFPO 27 - Hannover Isodets BFPO 28 - Brunssum (Netherlands) BFPO 29 - Minden BFPO 30 - Hohne BFPO 31 - Hameln BFPO 32 - Verden BFPO 33 - Hannover BFPO 34 - Düsseldorf BFPO 35 - Krefeld
BFPO 36 - Osnabrück
BFPO 37 - Soltau, also Brannenburg
BFPO 38 - Fallingbostel
BFPO 39 - Bielefeld
(1) The reason for this was some silly idea of security when 47 Fd Regt RA moved into Mansergh Bks. The idea was that the BFPO number and the unit shouldn't have the same number, despite the fact that the address would have both the BFPO number and the unit title on the envelope.

BAOR 43 -
BAOR 44 Hilden?
1) The sequence BAOR 7, BAOR 17, BAOR 27 and BAOR 37 were never used to avoid confusion surrounding the handwritten English and German style figures 1 and 7.
2) Bad Eilsen/ HQ RAF (G) originally BAOR 1? Allocated separate Post Code in 19?? due to volume of mail.
3) HQ BAOR/HQ RAF (G) moved from Bad Oeynhausen/Bad Eilsen to Rheindahlen in 1954 and were reallocated to BAOR 40.
