BAOR Units 1947 to 1994 then Germany until now

Can you give me some info on what was known as 44 Fd Spt Sqd. I seem to find this topic a bit hard
to trace and especially anyone with any connections. I was there between 1968 at Allenbroke Bks in
Paderborne and shortly afterwards the reg was split up when we moved to Hameln. Anyone with
any memories. Regards Jim Donaldson
