Seeing pictures of thed old base falling into disrepair is sad. Pictures of the Molly Bar where we gathered for a few brew with friends and also a few scuffles with our neighbours from Fort McLeod(PPCLI) and then laughs and a few drinks when it was allk over. Those wer the days and I wouldn't change those memories for the world. | |

Retired in 2005 and went back to work for the Sask., Gov't as an investigator and still employed with them. Nice to hear from people that have lived in the Ruhr area. | |

| Your Message | Hi everyone. I haven't left a message for a long time now so thought I should update it. I am officially retired now and learning how to live the life of leisure! Volunteering, playing bridge - must say, it's rather pleasant after working all those years! Am still looking for Linda (Snoopy) Crowder and Don Kirkey - anyone know where either of them are? I was able to make contact with Joanne Collingwood and Brenda Ruttkay, which was really neat, and also Paul Jones (a Brit soldier who lived near Hemer). Am living in Belleville, Ontario with Ozz, one dog and four cats! My mother is still going strong (now 87 and looks great), brother Peter and Carol are in Havelock, and everyone is doing great. Anyone who remembers me drop a line - would love to her from you. | |

| Your Message | We went to Germany in 1956 and were there until Oct/Nov 1957 when we came | |
| back to Canada. I went to kindergarten but don't know where, I do recollect being put on a volkswagon van and being driven to school. We lived in Unna on | ||
| Goethe Strasse. Pmq was about 4-5 units and out the back doors was a large play area and I recollect off to the left was a metal railing and below that was the | ||
| roof of the garages that were down there. Until today I thought we lived on Gouda Strasse but it obviously would be Goethe. For only being there for a couple of years and being so young I have many memories of living there. One of my better memories is of being in school and having to wear these red slippers with zippers up the front, God I hated them. We lived in Winnipeg until Aug 1968 and then went to Shilo where I went to grades 11 and 12 and then worked at Canex from 1971-77. Spent 30 years with the RCMP as a Telecoms Operator, retiring in 2008. | ||

Cliff attended RMC and went on the several high positions within the Ontario Government and several other high profile positions. He was a great guy during our school years and went on to be a great man in industry. A great loss for the Hemer Alumni. He is the second of our cohort to pass on, Brooks Chand'Oiseau passed away last year. Time passes and so do great friends. | |

| Your Message | My last Guest Book Entry Jun 2006 -- I expect many of the old soldiers are now at the stage of getting too old or forgetful to add comment of the time we spent in and around the Canadian Brigade while it was stationed with the British Army on the Rhine. Viewing the photo section how over the years the buildings and Forts are now crumbling into the ground very little left of what it once was. Because of how this site has over the years kept the memories alive this old soldier appreciates its exceptional value as a point of history in his life. Thank you all for recording our military contributions in the "Cold War". | |

| Your Message | Summer of '64, Shilo, Squad.121 then posted to CFB Petawawa then CFB Gagetown and Fort Prince of Wales, 1967. Germany was my Gunner Days Finale. Great times, fond memories, and a privilege meeting all I made contact with while serving and singing with the band "The Tender Touch Group" with Joey George, Charles "Chuck" Gauvin, Dave & Pat Haddad (not related). We performed at the Teen Hut, the Ranch House, and Centennial Day Celebrations etc. I made contact with our drummer Joey George from this site. If there are any pictures of the band or this old gunner, or you just think you know me, I would like to hear from you. Feel free to contact me, my door will be open. | |
| This site has opened doors to finding young gunners who I now call "Old Brothers" | ||
| This is a "Great Site" There are names that sound familiar and I know there are many more, this site we call Ruhr Memories is the place that opens doors. Thank You...Burt | ||

| Your Message | Great to recall some of my old teachers. I fondly remember Mr. Hockirchen (We called him "Hooker") assaulting me with a yardstick. I remember Miss Anderson slapping me across the face for making fun of her Hee-Haw laugh (Sounded like a darn mule). I remember Miss Fransen giving me the strap. She was kinda cute in her own way. Real battle-axe.I do fondly remember certain teachers like Mr. Cowan and Mr.McCrum. I hope all is well with them. | |

| Your Message | Just returned from a visit to Werl in October 2010. Did not find old PMQs this trip but saw one of the Forts {now a golf course}. I was 10 years old at the time. I had a sister Annette who would have been 15/16. She had a radio show called "2 Girls & a Star". Must have been a radio station for the PMQs only I suspect. I was also in cubs and went to Winterberg. There is a picture posted of Cubs from Werl in 1958. It appears they are going somewhere because of the luggage. I am almost certain that is my dad in the background fixing my uniform. I am also looking for pictures from this period or pictures from the Ivernia or Corinthia. What an amazing site and journey down memory lane. | |

So I started to wonder if there would be interest in a Soest Army Brats Facebook page. So I created one named, big surprise, Soest Army Brats. The first thing I did was put in a link to this great site. It is a skeleton now but hopefully people will find it and add stories, updates, photos, events, whatever. It is certainly worth a try! In the meantime, thanks for keeping this site updated. It's a gem. Ed | |

| We lived in one of the former Belgian Officers PMQ's on Schutzen Strasse. I remember it being on a hill and it seems to me that it was a building off by itself. There were other units at the bottom of the hill. Some of our neighbors were the Tribes (Bonnie) and the Millards (Nellie). Next door to us lived Louise, Raymond and Frankie but I don't remember their last names. I do remember that the German's next door got little Frankie, who may have been three or four at the time, stinking drunk. We had a large backyard that was paved and I learned how to ride my two-wheeler there before I was allowed out on the street. | ||
| I also remember that we use to walk on a trail along the edge of a stream and it seems to me we walked from the main CDN PMQs to the place where we lived along that route. I would be interested to know if anyone remembers that route. | ||

For me, it was the start of a three year adventure, certainly the most life altering event I've had. I can't fathom how forty years has vanished, the memory of boarding the Yukon is crystal clear. We were only in the Hemer area nine months before moving down south to Baden after Mr. Trudeua's forces experiment. We lived in a beautiful old stone house overlooking the Sorpesee out in Langscheid. What a change from row housing PMQs across from Downsview in Toronto! | |

Sadly I have yet to see any names that ring a bell in the guest book , but the annuals were fantastic to look through. I have been in contact with Jim Kerr in Toronto, and know that Bram Fisher lives in my home town of Kingston,ON, and Paul Titterton has been living in Scotland for the past 44 years. I would love to track down some others, like Susan Westfall, Jane MacIsaac. Sheila Reynolds, Elaine Morrison, Don Bowan, or anyone else from back then. So many of you have said it was the best days of your life, and I agree 100%. Have been back twice and will visit again in 2010 with my brother David, and my sister Lynn. Can't wait! Michele | |

I was one of the kids who had polio during my stay in Germany. I remember soaping the school windows on Halloween (my brother Richard Parry)turned us in. Loved the school dances. We were transferred to Petawawa in December 1962 where I remained until I married and moved on in 68. I've returned to Germany several times the last move in 1989 when we were transferred to Baden. I love Germany so much that we are considering retiring in the Rhine Valley. We are presently in Victoria, BC where we've been for over 20 years. | |

| Your Message | I guess living in Werl, Germany as a military brat had to be one of my greatest experiences which I can remember to-date. The second best experience was living there the second time for six years with the Royal Canadian Air Force (1973-1979). I had managed to learn the language during my first time there and this was to my advantage while living there as a civilian and second, as a serviceman. I was transferred to the Europahof Hotel as management and knowing three languages was a pre-requisite. Travelled to every country imaaginable less the communist ones because of my security clearance within the military. I have managed to travel back there several times after being posted back to Canada and who knows, I might just return one more time. Auf Wiedersehen bis nextes mal. | |

Seeing the old school - can still picture the days of "double dutch skipping" on the stairs and the good old hill hang out. Does anyone remember the 2 hills we named "bear hill and kite hill" in Hemer. I won't forget being a brat living next to the local German Hospital in Hemer... seems we always raided the lucious gardens next door to it | |

| Your Message | I was borne in 1958 so my memories of those early years in Germany are a little sketchy. I do remember Grade 1, 2 and 3 in Fort Macleod. My older brother Terry and sister Sandy went to the school located down the across what I thought was the mainstreet in Hemer: Across from the parking lot where the buses picked up us 'little kids'. I remember making about 25 marks washing cars in the MLS parking lot on Saturdays and the Felsmears (sp??) rock formations. And of course Paul Boon's (again spelling is questionable) where a 7 year old could buy firecrackers and stinkbombs! | |

Have many memories of living in Hemer...catching the school bus each day (they lined up along the street every morning), shopping with Mom at the MLS, running across the street to the "Spar" (the grocer sold the best licorice whips) and even trying to sneak in to Little Canada (only to be kicked out). We lived across the hall from the Adair family (Willy, Ward and Patti were the kids, and they were the same ages as myself and my siblings). Thank you again. | |

| Your Message | What wonderful memories were made in Hemer when we were all very young and foolish. I loved every minute and would do it all again. | |
| Does anyone remember me at all either? What about Jim Fawcett? He went out with Linda Tredwell for a short time if that helps anyone? Jim and I went to the dance in Soest one Friday night and actually won the door prize. I think we won a ladies hair dryer and men's electric razor if memory serves me correctly. | ||
| Well, after 20 years of no contact and not having a clue where the other one was, we managed to find each other again. We reunited in 1988 and married in 1991. We have been happily married since then. | ||
| Between us we have 3 boys (mine) and 1 girl (his) as well as 8 grandkids. 3 boys and 5 girls and one more on the way. | ||
| Ladies, why not take a moment to check out my webstore? Also, who would have beleived that I'd be selling sewing patterns later in life? Certainly not me that's for sure...lol | ||
| Oh well, any of you ladies out there that still sew other than me? I carry all the smocking & heirloom sewing patterns you could imagine. There are currently over 200 items listed with 100's of items still to list... | ||
| If you don't see what you are looking for in my store, let me know what it is and I'll try to find it for you. You can contact me using my regular email address listed here or any of the "contact me" links in any listing. | ||
| I hope everyone is doing fine. I'd love to hear from you... Take care and God bless you all, | ||

My dad was with The Royal Canadian Engineers stationed at Fort Victoria, Werl.

| Your Message | Hello | |
| Spent just about 11 years in the Soest area. It was home for the family, got married to a great German girl and still happy after 47 years. We had one son born there and a daughter spending early years in the area. We were so long in Germany that we all spoke German like the natives. Everything about the posting was great except in 1957 it started raining and didn't stop until 1962. We still go back about every five years or so to visit with friends and relatives. It had a big impact on my life and I am fortunate to have served in such a great part of the world. Someone should get a 4 CMBG/CFB Soest reunion going, I for one will attend. | ||

| Your Message | This is a great site! Kudos to the folks who put it together. It sure was fun to go through the photos and be reminded of how young we were. The equipment, (or lack there-of), we had in those days was really something. Seeing those bivies made out of ponchos and covered with snow brought back a lot of not-so-fond memories. As a vehicle tech, we had to crawl around in the mud under those old trucks, keeping them going, night or day! Boy, was that fun! sic! I'd love to hear from any of my old buddies who happen to see this posting. Perhaps I'll see some of you in London, Ontario this summer! | |

My dad commanded 4CMBG, and we lived in a German Neighbourhood, not in the PMQ's. I attended grade 5&6. I lived near Area 2, and used to ride my bike to the trasenbahd swimming pool in the Summer. I probably spelled that wrong!We were near the Stahd park too! We used to walk to area 2 to hang out with the kids from there. I remember Jeannie Lawrence! | |

| Your Message | My Father was the Protestant chaplain at Ft. York and Ft. Chamblay at the time. We lived in the Soest PMQs. My two sisters, Marilyn and Ainslee, and my brother, Ian, all have wonderful memories of those years. We loved the Christmas Eve services with the choir descending the outside of the onion tower and the fun fair rides. I used to go and visit a horse that lived in the fields nearby. Does anyone else remember older German men shaking their fists at us when we walked by and they would sometimes yell at us? | |
| I would particularly like to hear from Mary Desjardins who was in my Grade 7 class in 1960-1961 and later moved to Ottawa and went to the same school (Bell High School) as I did from 1962-1963. This is a wonderful site. Thank you. | ||

| Your Message | I was just mentioning to a correspondent (a former Werl guy) that, even still, what brings back the feeling of Christmas for me is remembering all the church bells in Soest pealing, filling the air downtown with the sound of bells, the snow falling softly and blanketing the old inner city so that it looked like a fairy tale town, attending the Weihnachten Fair and smell of chestnuts and sweets in the air, and of going down to the square by the Petri Kirche (the Lutheran church across from the Cathedral) Christmas Eve to watch and listen as the church choir made their way down from the top of the onion spire, holding candles, and singing In Excelsis Gloria as the snow gently wafted down. Now THAT was Christmas!! | |

| Your Message | Great website. I truly enjoyed looking at all the old pictures and trying for the life of me to remember, or should I say reognize any of the faces. I remember when the RCR marched through Soest. They wanted their ranks to be pure, so those of us who were attached to the regiment were excluded from parade, and were able to watch the parade and take pictures from the side lines. The same was with the visit of the Queen. I remember attempting to join the Regimental Ski Team. Willy Rushorn was the team leader. He'd takes us into the hills and lay out old tires on the side of these steep hills and we'd have to run up and down the hills not only around the trees, but also around the old tires. Ultimately we went to Austria and there I ended up braking a set of skis. Cpl. Rushorn gave me his "Heads" and he bought a new set. There was an officer on the team to, and being I was not any more skilled than he, when they it came down to the cut, and being I was a Sig's type and not pure RCR, and not because he out ranked me, he got the nod. | |

| Which years were you in Germany | See previous entries | |
| Your Message | Over the last few months I have been busy searching out websites for the various cities, towns, villages, and areas so many of us lived in while our families were stationed in the old brigade area...I've amassed quite a collection of photos! | |
| During that process I have also managed to start correspondences with a few "locals" who have responded to my various guestbook entries, which is great. | ||
| One fellow I've recently started corresponding with lives in Menden but grew up in Hemer and Iserlohn area. He has told me the old Hemer PMQs are now civilian housing, which I knew, and mostly what he calls "Volga-Germans" -- Russians and other East European immigrants who are ethnically German and who immigrated to the west after reunification. | ||
| He served in the Bundeswehr, as a paratrooper I believe, stationed in what used to be Fort Beausejour, later Winkelmann Kaserne. It is now closed (1992) and will soon be converted, from what I can gather, into an exhibition ground for garden shows and such...quite a big deal for Hemer. For those interested, the Bluecher Kaserne (Bundeswehr) is the old Fort Qu'Appelle in Iserlohn and it has since been converted to condominiums. | ||
| Fort Prince of Wales in Deilinghofen-Apricke has reverted back to Deilinghofen and parts of it are used by the town of Deilinghofen -- the ice rink, the old cinema, etc. while other parts have been converted to light industrial and IT offices. Some parts of the old forts here are off limits still. | ||

He is very familiar with the area around Balve and the Hoennetal and, as he wrote, his hobby is the rail system, especially the one along the Hoennetal from Neuenrade, through Balve, to Menden (aka The Little Red Devil). His site is definitely worth checking out! | |

| Your Message | Hello, | |
| Iwas not a member of the canadien arme in Germany. I live in Balve. Iget knowledge of your site from Stephen Lock. From 1959 to 1963 I was born 1953 and lived with my parents in the Glärbach Valley. There were two large houses that belonged to my Grandfather, Heinrich Wüstenberg. In the first haouse lived about 25 families of canadien soldiers, in the second house German families(Müller, Mertens, Brock, Lenk, Hergotzik, Becher, Walter etc) The children, canadien as german played together. There was no difficut because we spoke german and the canadien children spoke english. We had our own language. A mixture of english german an Signs. | ||
| Your page is super. I studied ist very interested an d many memories come back. In my time in Glärbach I always played with a canadien boy, I think his prename was Ricky. He called my amigo. But 1963 my Grandfather dies an we moved to Hönnetalstraße. In that Year i was sent to a high School by Hagen, and so i lost the contact to Ricky. In that time he was a very good friend. Perhaps someone reads this entry, knows the man who lived to that time in the Glärbach valley and con give my his adress. | ||
| On my Site i have many pictures of Balve, Beckum, Mellen an a report with many pictures of the Hönnetalbahn. You called ist "The red devil". | ||
| with kindly regards from Balve, am´nd best wishes to all who knows Balve - Glärbach | ||

| Your Message | For those interested -- the old PMQs in Soest (and I assume in Werl and Hemer) have reverted to German civilian housing. | |
| On one site I found, some of the old Soest PMQs have gone condo and are selling in the area of 85,000Euros. Others are rentals averaging about 465Euros per month. | ||
| I am not familiar with the conversion rates at all, or how the Euros compare to the old Deutsch Mark, but a medieval half-timbered house in the old city of Soest is going for between 90,000 and 220,000 Euros, so I assume our old PMQs are a helluva deal. | ||

| Your Message | Since discovering this site a couple of months ago, I have gone on a flurry of web searches for Soest and Hemer, including sites that are British Brat sites since I was in Iserlohn/Hemer after the Canadians pulled out and the Brits moved in (and who stayed until 1992, beating "our" stay by 4 years). I have had a wonderful time looking at various sites that show what is going on in these cities now (shutzenfests, marathon races, youth events, walking tours, fire department demos, street fairs, and -- of course -- Kirmes in Soest). I have started corresponding not only with people I knew back then (Canadian brats as well as British brats), but also with strangers who have posted items to various sites. Thank The Deity for Google!! | |

I've come across many familiar names that have jogged my memory and caused "feelings of great nostalgia". I'm married, have 2 sons and a sweet little granddaughter and live just outside of Regina SK. I would love to hear about the last 44 years of some of my old buddies! | |

| Your Message | Hmmm...in reading the entries I noticed Gord Grant on page 2 (Who I remember, actually...Hi Gord) mentioned HIS dad closed the Brigade area out and that THEY were the last family in the Brigade area...nope, the Locks were!! (circa 1971-72) although I do remember Gord was the last kid to go to Lahr, as I recall. | |
| My Dad worked out of Wittke (near Essen), I think it was called, attached to British Army and we lived in Iserlohn (on Am Tyrol, just down the hill a bit from the old Brigadier's mansion, which by then was abandoned and falling apart, sad to say). | ||

| Your Message | Like many of us, I have fond memories of my time in Germany, especially the second tour (Hey, I was 15, 16, 17, and 18!!) and especially of my time in Soest, a city I still carry a soft spot for. | |
| I was the last Canadian kid in the old Brigade area (1972-73)as my dad, WO Victor Lock, along with 2 other fellas, closed out the Brigade area after everyone rotated back to Canada or to Lahr and Baden-Baden. During this time I attended the British Comprehensive School in Dortmund and was a prefect (big whoop!). We lived in Iserlohn at that time and I spent considerable time moped-ing into Hemer to hang with the British kids at our old Teen Hut (and a few gasthofs). | ||
| I returned to Germany in 1973 (I didn't want to leave to begin with) and worked in Soest as a construction assistant of a resort hotel at Mohnesee. I returned to Calgary in 1974 and have been here ever since. | ||
| I recently started searching again for sites about Soest and Hemer. Found several about Soest but noticed of them mention the Canadian presence...this is the first site I found that covers that. THANKS -- it was great seeing all 'the kids' again!! | ||

| Your Message | Well in 1971 my sister Kate (aka Giesela) Andrews was attending Soest Senior School in Grade 12a. I looked at the year book photos of her and remember Debby Finney. Well I had two school kid friends named Dale (Sody?) and Charles. Never did see any of them again. My father was 'Snap' Andy Andrews and we lived on the Kanadierweg. Gloria Gourlay and Giesela used to hang around the teen hut. I knew her brother years later in Lahr. Honestly, I don't what to say. Being an outsider has meant that I never had contact with anyone of those days again. Cheers to anyone else who remembers that stuff. Those were very good days anyway. Lahr was rather disappointing, but time flies when you have real fun | |

So many school trips, so many summer school trips museums, galleries, castles, no wonder I became an artist! ...-) | ||

| I cant explain how I felt to be able to turn back the past. It is a shame that the forts and places we all lived have changed so much. What bothers mw is the forts we kept in such great condition are not military any longer. Thanks so much to the people who put the efforts in this site to preserve our memories. | ||

Met a lot of good soldiers and good men on that tour(66-68). This is a great site. | |

| Your Message | Good site, informative, BUT some of the dates are wrong,for example, two photos shows the Freedom of the City parade, Iserlhon, being dated to 1970, that occured in 1964 or 65, with the FGH (check the badges). I was there. LdSH were there in 70, I was there too but do not remember such parade. | |

| Your Message | Served 17 years + in Germany. Met my wife at BMH Iserlohn. We have been married 43 years this September. We have two daughters and four granddaughters. Our eldest daughter married her German boyfriend and she lives in Schuttern. They run a "Gartnerei" (gardening business)....across from the Church in Schuttern. We now live in Kingston, Ontario. The best fresh water sailing in the world!!! We love to sail and enjoy our retirement. We visit Germany at least once a year. Lahr is still a very vibrant town... the Airfield has many new businesses. The Caserne is another matter...it looks derelict...weeds are growing up through the tarmac...the windows of the Canex offices are broken...the whole place is a mess. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who knew me!!! Gary. | |

| Your Message | It's been a few months since I checked out this site and after another look, here's a few of my impressions as a 6 year old kid. It didn't take long after arriving for me to start checking things out. Castles on hills, houses that looked like you could eat them, little red trains zipping around, buses with trailers, gliders silently whipping through the sky, hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes including zeppelins suddenly appearing in the sky looking like they'll be there forever and before you know it they're gone, a forest next door with plush meadows and water shooting out of the ground. For a kid from rural Manitoba this place was a positive fairyland. There was a candy machine on the wall of a building down the hill on Zeppelinstrasse, open 24 hours and better candy than I'd ever had before, well...except for that awful salt licorice, man that stuff was gross. I soon met friends and started doing stuff, before discovering the shortcut through the Felsemeer we'd hang around the corner of Zeppelinstrasse and Berlinerstrasse. Eventually an army truck would come along and stop at the stop sign, that's when we'd all jump in the back and swipe a ride out to the camp to go to the movies. Usually that's where they were going but after a couple of my buddys ended up in Iserlohn one day we discovered the Felsemeer, there was two or three ways through there and I knew them all pretty good after a while. I had a scooter and used to trip around all over the place. I also remember roller skating down the hill on Memelerstrasse and scooting down Zepplenstrasse in a street cart I bought off Paul Ferris. I'd take my dog for walks in the woods, there's a pic on the sight somewhere of the crossroads leading into the woods and we'd go to the first valley and I'd let her run around, one time when my Dad came with us he wanted to go up the winding road but half way up the pooch discovered the farm by the road and was soon doing it's K9 duty of chasing chickens, 3 hours later with my Dad's wallet a lot lighter our walk was over. In one of the overhead shots on the site I see ther's a building on Memelerstrasse that wasn't there when I lived there, that was the field where we'd fire off our water rockets. Once a year the fair would come and set up on a hill on the other side of Hemer, if you looked straight down Memelerstrasse you could see it in the distance, when you saw them setting up you'd block that couple of weeks off on your kid's calender "THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN!!!!) | |

| Your Message | It is with great sadness that I see the state of Fort St Louis in its ruin and I remember the days of its shiny, proud state under the rule of Canada's Black Watch. I often thought that it was ironic that in the years following the move south to Lahr that our parent Regiment The Black Watch (RHR) were housed in Fort St Louis but renamed by the British Army after a battle honour from the Iberian Pennisular War with Napolean. I guess it is true that must not return because it is never the same. | |

A tear rolled down my face thinking of all those years and the memories. If Canadians only knew how many of her lads grew up in this place we called home for so long. Yes some of my buddies didn,t make it back home, but I can still see them for they never grow old. I can recall a New Years night standing guard at a TDM dump, guarding ammo in the rain and thinking to myself what to Hell am I doing here. I must have liked it because I kept comming back. | |

Retired with grandchildren. I'm still in touch with several friends made in Soest,and even with an old german boyfriend Harald,who moved to Canada in 1960/61. I do plan on a visit to Soest it wouldn't be a long journey for me at all. I live in Dover and the ferries sail every day to Belguim and France. Of course a plane would be much quicker! The Soest Tourism Office offer some very reasonable long weekend packages. I send my regards to you all. Cheers! | |

| Your Message | My Dad was in the Black Watch. We did not live in the PMQ's we were on Economy as they called it then. My first day at school an army truck pick me up at my home. Drove to school then forgot to pick me up after school. So I remember going over to the MP shack to tell them I was lost. I just opened my bookbag with my address on it. Couldn't say those words for the life of me(at that time)So They drove me home in a MP jeep. Got to our village and past my Mom running up and down the street franticly looking for me. Remember, we couldn't speak the language, we had no phones, no car(at the time)Dad wasn't home she was all alone. I remember telling them" there's my Mom"!! but they wouldn't stop. See saw me cause I was waving and yelling at her. She finally ended up at the house. All out of breath. I remember her yelling at the guys, "why didn't you STOP" "Sorry we had to deliver her straight to her home." I'm in the picture on your introduction page after you hit the Werl school button. When I got in and was looking around I said gee that girl in the front row looks familiar not noticing myself until I realized it was my class picture. Had such a great childhood in Germany. This has brought back lots of wonderful memories. Thanks. I still write to the family whom we rented from in Wickede. We did alot of travelling while in Germany and also after. We visited the Strieder Family many time and stayed in our old apartment on a couple of our trips back. It was our BEST posting. Now a family by the name of Scott moved into Wickede 2 doors up from us. They rented from the Coal-man who had a long haired daushound dog called Dixie. If you read this letter Kathy please write. Anyone else from the picture please write can't name you all a in this letter but do remember some of your names. Who sent in the class picture? Thanks!! As Always Cathy | |

The streets have been renamed now and the street #'s are now also different. I am a TRUE military brat. I have wonderful memories and am so very fortunate to have lived in Hemer. I started my travelling then in 1955 and have been travelling ever since. I stay in Hemer and also in Iserlohn when I go back regularly. Write me if you know me. We had a piano in our PMQ. They loaded it in on a crane thru the living room balcony!! Regards,(Tish) Mack (ps. I'm 59 now) | |

Time sure flies when having fun, If there is anyone out there that remembers me and wants to contact me feel free to do so. Would love to hear from people from the past | |

The school has elementary still in it and the town has grown to include Wickede and the surroundings.Fort St.Louis and St. Anne are being allowed to crumble into a historic forest site while Fort Henry has an industrial use.The swans are still in the Park and the town has agreed to look after the graves of Canadians for another 50 years.Germany is very multinational now, some places were like Toronto for culture. It was a great experience hope others will go back. | |

| Your Message | My B.S.M. was Sargent Major Sam Whitt, and my Troop Sargent Major was Sargent Major Bill Conway. I can't remember most of the bars that I frequented with my friends Walter Fowler, Monks, Christenson, Staabe, Arolouto Bdr. Stacey, to name a few. I remember the Molly Bar was the first Bar going into Dielinghoffen and The Ranch House. I remember that that was the main dance hall around the camp and it was a good socialising bar as well. This is a great way to network and keep track of old friends.--------------Ubique-----------Bob Turner(trapper) | |

| If you were a serving member, which Fort(s) | Fort Chambly and Fort Henry | |
| Your Message | Great website, I will pass along to my friends who were there with me. I was there from November 1959 to August 1962. I was a Lieutenant in RCEME at 40 Field Workshop at Fort Chambly then moved to Fort Henry to command the 4 CIBG HQ LAD as a Captain. Our son, Bryan, was born in BMH Iserlohn in January 1961. | |
| My wife and I visited the sites in December 1980 when Chambly was occupied by the British Army and was heavily guarded to protect against the IRA. Fort Henry was occupied by the German Army and Fort York by the British. We visited again in 1999 when Chambly was vacated by the military and parts of it were being used as a freight-forwarding facility. (A new Autobahn runs very close to the officers mess area.)The area of the officers messes and sleeping quarters was occupied by refugees. The churches were still there but were abandoned and all overgrown. The whole site was very decrepit. The rink was there still but abandoned too. | ||
| Fort Henry was obliterated and the ice rink at Fort York was now the skating rink for the town of Soest. Other buildings on the Fort York site were being used for commercial purposes. | ||

| Your Message | A great site...recognize a few entries...good to see some interest by the next generation....have managed to return, as my daughter now resides in Tubingen. Our children attended School in Werl 62-65, and of course went through all our attempts to communicate in German. I am now fasinated with her now complete fluency.4CIBG was I believe the high-point of my 33 year military career. The tasks of today's military are much less desireable than a our "Tour of the Ruhr". Feel fortunate all our "Bug-out's" were only "dry run's"....and we got to immensely enjoy a working holiday.

| Your Message | Great site. As one of the original dependents, we spent several months in England before we secured accommodations in Cappel, near Lippstadt. After 8 months with no school, I started in a multi grade setup in 2 rooms of a German school, catching an old Ford bus at 0630 hrs that meandered through village after village.... Both ways getting home in time for supper. We were early movers into the new PMQ appartments, having to use an open door Dodge 3/4 ton, as the entire landscape was mud with no street work done. I remember the move into the new PMQ school and the opening of the Maple Leaf Store. Somewhere I have an old 1955 school picture??? | |

| Your Message | It is very gratifying to see an extremely well done layout of a time in our lives in a strong Military. It is also too bad that our young soldiers today can only hear and view about such adventures as shown in this site. They will, more than likely never have an opportunity to serve in an enviroment and culture setting as we did in those years. A tour in Germany was always looked upon as both educational and an enlightning experience. As much as I and my Family were able, we managed to take all advantages afforded us and saw most of Europe in those years. | |

| Your Message | The years disappear when browsing this site !!! (Gotta love it.) I returned to Hemer in 2002 - even made front page news with my reunion of a german girlfriend I chummed with then. Lots of changes there but still the same ol' Hemer. Had a good fill of currywurst,schnitzels,pomme-frits mit mayonnaise, and of course, beer. I managed to visit alot of the old gasthofs - what a reception by the townspeople! I knew Canadians were liked & admired but had no idea how much til then. Am returning in summer of 2004 -didn't get my fill of the marketplatz. | |

Can't seem to find school pix of her or our brother Stephen, though. It is kind of surreal looking at all these pictures - it's like looking at someone else's life. Almost a little creepy. Good to see someone was willing to take on this project. You've done a fine job. I wish Dad Merle Pineo) was still here to see it. | |

Little Canada and the MLS were our hang outs back then. What fun we had growing up on Breslauer Strasse in Hemer. Sliding down the German hill on cardboard in the winter and getting lost in the graveyard in the forest. And always cutting through the Felsemer to head to the base and see the movies every Saturday. I'd love to go back and see it again! | |

Being a teenager in Germany in the sixties was a great learning experience.The chance to be able to play hockey and do the traveling that we did was something that gives a person a lifetime full of memories that can only be shared with the peolpe that were there as outsiders don't realize what it was like. | |
| Being in Berlin for a hockey tournament when it was a divided city and seeing the wall and now so many years later it is once again one city. This is something a person will always have to remember. | ||

| Your Message | When one grows up on the move as most of us army brats do it is difficult to know excatly what roots there are. Having made connections with othe Hemerites has allowed me to be more aware of the roots and connections that exsist. Both of my parents died young, Dad (mel)-58 in 1988, Mom (ada)66 in 2000. [as a side note my mom did girl guides lots!!!!] So connections are very fragile and need to be nutured and developed. I am working on developing a number of connections to my roots and this web-site has really helped to feel more grounded in my experience as a PMQ Brat. | |

| Your Message | Wow! Great site! I just returned from a personal pilgrimage to Werl and area......I am proud to say that I was a participant in the Re Dedication Ceremony at the Werl Cemetery for the Canadian Graves on August 22. I cannot tell you how proud I was to be there and very surprised to see the turnout of the local german citizens. If anyone sees any photos of the Ceremony.....I am the lady in the red and white suit! | |
| I was fortunate to have Manfred Schmitt meet me at the airport and he and his lovely wife showed me around for a couple of days. | ||
| I wish I could say that it brought back memories but as young as I was..........I did however, take many photos and find out the locations of some old photos I had. The Bismark Tower, the gate in Soest, the Windmill on the way to Soest from Werl, the Mohnesee.....and many more. | ||
| I finally got a German document translated to find out that I was baptized in Warstein (but they got the birthdate wrong!) but cannot figure out why the parents would go so far for such a thing?....no Prot. churches in Allagen area??? | ||
| I am looking for anyone that would remember Jeanne Lorraine, my mother. She died in April 1961 and is buried in Werl Military Cemetery with my brother. We lived at 40 Dorfstrasse in Allagen and 108 Windmill way in Soest. The address in Allagen is an empty field between houses (apparently the gov't renumbered the houses but no one could remember the old numbers!) and the address in Soest seems to be a business. | ||
| Dad is still alive but he is showing signs of Alzheimer's. | ||
| I will be setting up a web page with the details and photos of my trip....email me for the url. | ||

| Your Message | What a fine present to find your site! I was fourteen and fifteen in Hemer and this far down the line things are a little blurry, but I do remember Duane Spurrier (my first real boyfriend, handsome and sweet) vividly. And seeing Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Tich in concert. And the cream puff factory. And some hilariously pompous twit called David Sobelman. And Kevin Reiman, who taught me to worhip rock music. And Charlotte Goodman, who was, let's face it, Char, boy crazy. And Die Grafen at a school dance. And a drunk math teacher. And Altena Castle. And a girl called George, pomme frites with mayo on the Hauptstrasse, Robbie Wade, cutting through the graveyard to get to the swimming pool, Jim Hitsman, Andrea Thiel, and an outrageous Brit who was the only real Mod we had--wow! seems I may not be so blurry after all... | |
| Now on Vancouver Island writing and continuing my in-depth personal studies of poverty. Married, six dogs, no kids, and certainly should not be thinking about Duane, but this site made me!! | ||

| Your Message | Somebody pinch me! I'm so excited to learn about this site. Chris Phanghannsl let me know it was here, so I owe her big time! The site looks fabulous. | |
| They were GREAT times and we were so fortunate to have had a place like Hemer to grow up in. I see Chris, Dave Fidler, Carolyn Stone, Debbie Little, and sometimes Bonnie Tupper and her brother, Loring, quite a bit. We all get together for dinner every couple of months. Not too many people can say that they are in touch on a regular basis with people they've known for (dare I say it?) more than 30 years. They are among the most important people in my life, those who "knew me when..." They keep me honest. haha Last summer we had an itsy bitsy reunion at my home in Calgary. Rick Harris (who came in from Edmonton), Marcelle Marquis (who was visiting from Toronto), Astrid Seton, Bonnie (who was visiting from Libia) & Loring Tupper, Chris & Cathy Phanghannsl, Carolyn Stone, Wendy Wheeler (in from Red Deer), Dave Fidler, Ursula Funk, and Ramona (Buttons) Woodfine (who was visiting from Halifax). We had a blast, barbequing huge steaks and drinking lots of beer and wine. | ||
| They're having a big shindig in Halifax this August. It's being organized by people primarily from Lahr, but anyone who attended school overseas is welcome. I know of a number of Hemerites who are planning to attend. I can't go. Rats! No, I'm not still CB'd, although I'm sure I should be for something. | ||
| Terry Barrett mentioned that famous football victory over Soest the last year. THAT was a VERY good day. He who laughs last, laughs best! Too bad we had so little time to lord it over them. | ||

We moved in after you Canadians left.We visited lots of places and dad had great opportunity to ski - he was in the army olympic ski-ing team. I went to Hemer primary school (Hemer senior high) for 2 years and then onto secondary school in Dortmund. I think Hemer was dads best posting. We had such great times there. Thanks for such a great site. | |

| Your Message | Excellant site, I came across it by chance. Look forward to more pictures. We went up from Lahr & Baden and stayed at Fort York in May '93 as us (8th Canadian Hussars) and 3 RCR exercised the freedom of the city of Soest. An incredible weekend as the people still really liked the Canadians and of Iserlohner Pils. Later that summer, on the way back from Berlin, we stopped at our old PMQ area on Von Behwing Strasse. I do not have a lot of recollection of the time as I was an infant. My Father, Colby Yeomans, was in the Strathconas at Fort Beausejour and before at Fort Chambly in Soest. He passed away last year but always said these tours up north were the highlight of his career. I would like to re- visit the area the next time I go to Europe | |

| Your Message | A great site and very interesting to see the old pictures from the Beaver. I must clarify one mistake, and that is the picture on page 3 of the church service by the Centurion tank. It states it was the Fort Garry Horse at Sennalager in 62.This is impossible because the 8CH would have been in Sennalager in 62, it's possible it would have been in 63.I know this is just nit picking but some of us might care. | |

| Played Hockey there for Hemer. Got to Play in Amsterdam, Berlin, beat the crap out of Soest Regularly (almost every weekend). Later played a few games with the Senior German team, we got too old for the Canadian Junior Team. First ate spagetti there. Met a few girls, Flannery, Brown, Blair (to name a few). Got to start a band with Ed Hood, Darrel Finnigan, Brian Graham and Rick Rizzo. Played at Teen Town regularly and some military events. Did a 35 band festival in Unna with bands from over europe. Beat almost everyone at foos ball at noon in the teen hut. Hitched to Copenhagen with Ed Hood. Beat Soest in Football the last year and made 5 touch downs that day. Had a blast growing up there. Then on to Lahr for even more fun. Learned to eat Pizza in Lahr. Rode bikes (motor of course) to Munich for October Fest. Kidnapped Millan Lamb at midnight and drove to Ostend in Belgium, stopped into Soest on the way. took a mini tour via my 1st Car Austin Mini to French and Italian rivierra and on Torrino and then Geneva and home to Lahr.
