| When I look down the list of 'BFG/BAOR Locations' Goslar has always been blank, and I would have thought there might have been some former members of the Royal Lincolnshire Regt who might have left a comment on their short time there in the early 1950s.
Anyone out there from these days?? | |

| Hello, I do have some questions trying to find Sid(ney) Smith, who was stationed in Goslar. Does the photo attached mean anything to you?

| I have a list of barracks in Goslar:-
Hastings Barracks Seaforth Barracks Manchester Barracks Charles Barracks Border Barracks
Manchester barracks I understand is the former fliegerhorst/airfield to the north of the town. Can anyone place the others at all?

We discussed this subject about eighteen months ago
Steve will doubtless provide the link when he next calls by
Charles Barracks was in Braunschwieg (Brunswick), Border Barracks was in Gottingen. | |

| New to the Forum so sorry to revive an old(ish) thread but we were in Goslar last summer . Had we known there were old Barracks there we would have visited what was left of them for some photos . | |

Welcome
What a pity we did not know of your visit to Goslar, we could have asked you check out a fourth site in the south west outskirts of the town
Do you have a family connection with the British Army in Goslar? | |

| Hi JPW Not in Goslar no . We were told by a German friend to visit as it's such a beautiful town , she was right . My husband is ex REME and was stationed in BAOR from 1976 - 1987 . We first went back in 2007 but didn't return again till 2013 , what a difference , sad to see all the Barracks gone or going . But I digress. We're hoping to go back to Germany next year and will probably visit Goslar again . Checking out the sight would be no problem .

Thank you very much for the kind offer
If you do return to Goslar and have time I am sure that I will not be the only one who would appreciate a photo of both Seaforth and Hastings Barracks as it is now
Gute reise! | |
