New Facebook Soest Army Brats Group

Apr 262022
 

I created a Soest Army Brats page on Facebook a while back. The problem is only I could make posts while others could comment.

To facilitate discussion I have created a new Soest Army Brats Group, linked to the original page. This is a new private group. People have to request to join. This is to keep out spam and hackers, but it will allow members to post and comment and interact with other members. To join, just go to Facebook and search for Soest Army Brats Group or click on this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/702577524224183

Click on Join, answer a couple of questions about your experience with Soest Army Brats and agree to the group rules and that’s it. We have well over a hundred members already. Also, I have copied a lot of the Soest Army Brats yearbooks and photos over to the group, so they are readily accessible.

Have Fun!

Canadian Help Building Stadium in Echthausen 1967

Mar 042021
 
Do any of you know anything about the Canadian pioneers from Werl who helped build the Sportstadium in Echthausen in 1967.
I received the following message. If you can help out please contact Andreas directly
Email:
Subject:
Help for Memorialsign
Message:
Hello,
i’m Andreas Baum and i’m from Wickede-Echthausen which is about 3km away from the Werl baracks. I’m in the Board of the association from the TuS Echthausen.
In 1967 the canadian Pioneers from Werl helped to build the sportstadium in Echthausen. In memory of this historical moment in our village, we want to create a memoryboard in our stadium.
We have some information, but this are just german information und only a few pictures. So our question is, may you help us to get some informations, like the groups, which helped and also maybe there is information about the machinse which were used so we can create the memory from both sides and not only the german side, maybe there is a contact of someone, who helped. In hope to her from you und stay
healthy.
Andreas Baum

Some Changes

Feb 222017
 

For years this website had a forum option that required a signup and a login. However, we realize that no one has ever used the forum feature. However, Soest and Hemer and other Facebook discussion pages have been very active.

Therefore the forum feature will be removed and you will notice that there is no longer and signup and login jitem in the right sidebar, since the signup and login were only required for use of the forum.

The site itself requires absolutely no signup or login.

However, you are encouraged to sign the guestbook using the top menu item if you would like others to find you.

Finally, to provide a place to discuss the material Dave has collected over all these years, there is a new Facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/ruhrmemories

We will mirror some of the material on this site to the FB site to provide better coverage and access to the wonderful memorabilia that Dave has collected over all these years.

Thank you so much for the photos you have recently submitted. They now appear on the Contribute Photos page and will soon be added to the appropriate albums.

Debbie K. – thanks for your contributions.

There are other recent contributions where the contributors were not indicated. Can you get in touch with us to let us know who submitted what so we can give credit where credit is due?

Some of the recent photos submitted to us are very small. They are great photos and you have larger versions, can you please send them on to us?

We have been a little remiss in updates recently due to some unforeseen circumstances but we should be getting back in the update mode now.

We appreciate your contributions and encourage you to look around to see if there are any more you could send along to us.

Ed and Dave
