George Oehring What an wonderful gift to us all: thank you! In lahr we always spoke of the Ruhr area as "up north", and otherwise recalled our time there as the "Golden Days", which they surely were and shall remain. I hope some of your many followers can contribute more photos and perhaps fill in a few of the gaps - like BMH Iserlohn where we maintained a fine group of Canadians, and where some of your followers may well have begun their lives. Great work. Thanks again. Quarters in Forts POW and Henry...

Graham Murphy Hi to Georgia Gariner. We attended same grades , same time.I am sure we must have known oneanother. I gor back to Werl last may. was great to see the pmq's. they are now all occupied by turkish immigrants. Mamma's is now a turkist food place and there is a Turkish cultural centre in the little mall there.Werl itself is still beautiful. Managed to visit the canadian section of the town cemetary. The bases are all overgrown with the old buildings falling down etc. Drove and walked along the tree-lined lane we used to walk between the pmq's and the base back and forth to the cinema. Couldn't find the old belgique theatre we used to go to see movies spoken in belgian and dubbed in english . It was like bringing one's life full circle. Love our years in germany. Fantastic to go back. However, our dollar no longer brings 4 of theirs hhah . feel free to e mail and share some memories 10D Linden allee Werl Elementary 1959 - 1961 February 18, 2013

Bob Stennett A lot of fond memories were brought back when I found this site. Barrack living, many comrades and friends which I have lost contact over the years. Seeing pictures of the old base falling into disrepair is sad.
