If my memory serves me correctly there was a forum member with a journal of 22 Armd Bde Sig Sqn just after WW2 when 7 Armd Div was in Schleswig-Holstein…will try and track it down for you
Katharina
Thanks to Jimsigs now have a great scan on the newspaper...22 Armd Bde Signals was later renamed 7 Armd Bde Signal Squadron...also a friend who lives close to the Royal Signals Museum is going to check the Wire the Royal Signals magazine for the late 1940s for any other details on 22/7 Armd Bde...in the meantime will email you the newspaper sent by Jimsigs
Best regards

Jul 46 – HQ 22nd Armoured Brigade of 7th Armoured Division arrived at Warendorf (there was an airfield there and have the grid reference to the north-west of the town) replacing HQ 4th Armoured Brigade, 22nd Armoured Brigade Signal Squadron was located with the brigade and was 4 Squadron, 7th Armoured Division Signal Regiment, the brigade was renamed 7th Armoured Brigade Jan 47, the squadron was not in barracks but located in requisitioned civilian houses

Feb 48 – 7th Armoured Division disbands and 7th Independent  Armoured Brigade came under command of Hannover District, with responsibility over a wide area from Oldenburg and Luneburg in the north, down to Münster, Hamm and Minden in the south, the brigade HQ and signal squadron moved to Kurpark Bad Lippspringe late 48

Mar 49 – 7th Armoured Division Signal Regiment reforms from Hannover District – HQ and 1 Squadron were in Trenchard Barracks Celle, moving to Caithness Barracks Verden Nov 50, 7th Independent Armoured Brigade Signal Squadron becomes 4 Squadron and moves to Bournemouth Barracks Soltau May 50

Thank you very much for this, some very useful additions to my Schleswig Holstein data base as well as the amendments to our joint 7 Armoured Division data base

Am intrigued by your reference to the Kiel ATS Signals Company in your PM to me, first time I have seen reference to this unit

From Jul 45 each Corps District HQ had an ATS Company, for some reason with 8 Corps at Kiel rather than Plöen, perhaps due to a repeater station being there, the Wire magazine had good write up on the ATS in BAOR forming the WRAC in early 49

Steve

Probable explanation for the ATS Company being in Kiel rather than Ploen is
1. Shortage of accommodation.
a. HQ 8 Corps moved into the Schloss in the centre of town
b. The Royal Navy in the form of HMS Royal Alfred had moved into the Naval Barracks across the lake previously occupied by Headquarters 6 Guards Armoured Brigade.
c. As a result Headquarters 4 Armoured Brigade who replaced the Guards had to move into the nearby village of Ascheburg

2. Workload
The military/naval presence was huge in Kiel and undoubtedly the Royal Signals had requisitioned the Civilian Telephone System which would have to have operated on a 24 hour system, the ATS must have provided the majority of the manual switch board operators working on a three shift system.

Next task for Alan 8376 and I with our contacts with the Stadt Archivist is to find out where the ATS were housed (alternatively the Kiel Journal may have the answer)

Warendorf about 28 ks East of Münster. Up to 1945 the Wehrmacht Barracks North of the town housed the German Army Remount Depot/ Horse Husbandry/Riding School - horses were an important part of the Reichs freight and transport system. (Wehrkreis-Reit- und Fahrschule VI Warendorf)

On the weekend 28/29 Sep 46 the resident British formation organised a Horse Show and Gymkhana there - IWM reference LBY BAOR 241 contains the details (document is not online).

In 1957 - after a refurb perhaps, the Bundeswehr moved their Sport School in to the Barracks (http://www.wn.de/Muensterland/Kreis-Warendorf/Warendorf/2017/02/2688826-60-Jahre-Sportschule-der-Bundeswehr-in-Warendorf-Bekenntnis-zum-Standort)
where they have been for 60 years, training sport instructors and operating a sport trauma hospital

An old thread now worth replying to:

During my research of the early days of BAOR (VE Day to the end of 1948) believe have found the former HQ for 3 Inf Div/52 Inf Div/4 Armd Bde/22 Armd Bde/7 Armd Bde
