Canadian Camps in Germany

[PPS]

I found this photo while looking for details of a couple of my old postings in Germany.

I remember that the British Army took over from the Canadians in the Iserlohn, Hemer, and surrounding area in late 1970/early 1971. I was attached to 2 Field Regt R.A. in Peninsula Barracks, Deilinghofen for a time

It was found on:-

There is also another site that shows a lot of photo's related to Canadian Forces in the Ruhr area:-

I know that these have possibly been posted before, but thought they may be worth another look for some people

P.S. Geoff, Mackenzie King Barracks is mentioned on the top site, but it gives little detail.

Paul, thanks for bringing back some memories. I was in O Bty, 2 Field when they moved into Peninsula Bks until early 72 when I went on a 2 year attachment. I rejoined the Rgt at Deilinghofen in 74 going to L Bty.

Derek,

If you were there in '72, our paths must have crossed at some time.

I joined the L.A.D in Barford Camp, Barnard Castle in late '71, and moved across with the Regiment to Delinghofen in the main party. There were a few characters in the place, R.E.M.E. as well as R.A.

I left in Dec. '73, posted to 8 Bde in Londonderry for 18 months.

Paul.

Paul,

Small world isn't it. I was with 2 Field from 1965 to 1976 apart from the 2 year attachment. When you were with the Rgt, I was Bty Survey Sgt in Rockets.

When you moved to 8 Bde I was just down the road in Ballymoney until April 74.

Forts mentioned include: Forts Anne, Beausejour, Chambly, Henry, Macleod, Prince of Wales, Qu-'appelle, St. Louis, Victoria, and York. Many other camps and bases are listed, along with geographic placenames throughout Germany.
