| Have been working away with JPW over several years trying to piece together the early days of BAOR, a missing piece of history from the late 1940s, folks talk about WW2 but the chat disappears shortly after VE day 8 May 45, some regimental histories give a brief account of occupation duties, however JPW and myself quickly realised that memories cannot always be relied on, enter documents from the public records office in Kew, to cut a long story short we have been able to piece together an Order of Battle from 8 May 45 to 1948, in brief: 21st Army Group 2nd Army 4 x Corps 14 x Divisions 84 X Brigades including HQ Corps, Divisional and Army Group Royal Artillery who were at brigade strength This is just the British formations; need to add the Canadian, Polish, Dutch, Belgium, Norwegian and Danish troops, who were part of 21st Army Group later British Army of the Rhine https://britisharmyingermany.comMy first attempt at building a website, be gentle with me and your input will be appreciated, this will “under construction” for several years and will complement http://baor-locations.orgby early 1948 HQ British Army of the Rhine consisting of: 2nd Infantry Division Hamburg District Hannover District 7th Armoured Brigade 4th Army Group Royal Artillery 31st Independent Infantry Brigade Norwegian Brigade Group Danish Infantry Brigade Group Life did change with the Cold War but 1949 can wait for now! BTW on a personal note, arrived in BAOR 50 years ago this week from Boy Service in Verden-Aller and been back here living in Lower Saxony since 2011  |

Thanks Steve, I just figured out mine: 52 years ago last Oct 12. Whaa, time does creep up on us.
PS: Tried your new site, it won't let me in. Opp's it did now. |
