ron i do remember the gym,however when i was there the naafi was opposite the cookhouse
and the workshops where on the opposite side of the square from the wos mess our ncos mess
was incorporated with the wos mess,i suppose the layout could have been a little different in 62-66
someone mentioned willi scultz bar,you must remember that,but when i was there willi was not
the landlord was walter altrogge had some great times in there and of course in the naafi

kev I don't know if your regt kept pigs but our regt did and the piggery was at the top of the garage blocks my 2 mates looked after them and the regt sold them to the local pig farmer and the money went into the regt sports fund,(sometimes)that's how we used to go out every night,if the sow had a litter of 12 they told the r.q.m.s.it had 10,and sold them later on the quiet,happy days

the same way as you, or someone else would have there was always something to sell

KevinP,
Interesting to read about your time in Harewood Barracks. I was there in 1952, and was billeted in what was your 'C' Sqn. In our day with R Sigs, it was 3 Sqn. Next to us was the run down to the cookhouse and as you say, the NAAFI and Cpl's Club were on the opposite side.
Memories, memories.
Was back in Herford in the 1960's with 7 Sig Regt up at Maresfield Barracks.

I was at 7th Sigs Maresfield Bks and a member of the Sub Aqua Club which was formed in Jan 67 and we used the pool for training  which was at Harewood Bks on the Ring Strasse.
By the way, the last remaining soldiers in the whole of Herford will be leaving the town for good next year, 2015. This info was given to me by an old German friend of mine.
