| What was the strength of BAOR after the war? I am researching A/Capt Graham Budge 2nd Bn Black Watch who was in Berlin near the end of the war and afterwards. He played rugby for Scotland and the Lions in 1950.
Was BAOR sport, particularly rugby, popular after the war, enough to maintain skills and fitness?
There are some books on BAOR but not sure if they will mention sport. | |

| Thanks. Family have told me he served in North Africa, Italy, Greece and finished off in Berlin.
BTW were Officers 'demobbed' or was there another term?
I'm off to the Black Watch Museum soon to do some more research | |
