Welcome jimti

JPW and myself are working on the locations of the British Army in Germany post May 45, using war dairies/historical records for the 3 x Corps Districts, pleased to offer a little more detail on 54 Coy RASC 1945 to 1947 but only have one location, so thanks for your information

by 19 Jun 45 command to 43 (Wessex) Infantry Division of 30 Corps District located in Hansen west of Uelzen north-west of Celle
by 21 Aug 46 command to 5 Infantry Division of 30 Corps District from 31 Sep 46 1 Corps District on the disbandment of 43 (Wessex) Infantry Division
late 47 command to Hannover District on disbandment of 5 Infantry Division

Not in the Orders of Battle for 43 (Wessex) Infantry Division for May 45, so probably under command 2 Army and allocated to the division on moving from the Bremen area to Celle 23 May 45 via Ebstorf south of Luneburg 11 May 45
