| I have found a mention of the Danish Brigade being stationed in Wilhelmshaven.
The Barracks they took over were apparently called Isle of Man Barracks!
Could this be a previously unknown location, or an English translation of Danish or German names?

Tony, There is a Crerar Barracks just along the road in Oldenburg, and the entry on the main site give details of the Gentleman you mention. And there is two images of the "Funny Money" on the Denmark page. Paul. | |

| Information has been received that there was a Barracks of this name in the area.
Confirmation and further details are awaited.
