A lot of fond memories were
brought back when I found this site. Barrack living, many comrads and friends
which I have lost contact over the years. 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. |

My father was stationed in Hemer
when he met my mother who was from Hemer. His name is Don Thivierge and her
name was Erika Zatska (sp) I would love to connect with someone who may have
known them. While there they had a son named Donald Jr. I believe my dad
would have been there between 1957 and 1961. When they came back to Canada
Erika was expecting their second child. |

Some
of the best memories of childhood were in Soest. Remeber all the sports and
touring all over Europe. When we returned to Canada my parents posting choice
was the flakey left coast and Vancouver from that point sure missed the
friends (army brats) I grew up with and never with an exception of a couple
bumbed into again. Remember the Keramis (fall fair) Winterburg and other
local areas. Remember cycling to the Mohne sea Dam. The brigaderes house
called big top if memory serves me correctly. Sometimes wish one could turn
back the clock. |

Looking for Donna Watson, I
believe she has become a writer, if it is the right Watson. Where are you
Watson? What can one say after a million years away from high school,
couldn't return to Canada, after so many years overseas, traveled 98
countries now, worked in 12 countries, became a teacher, worked almost 30
years overseas and 12 other things just to put myself through school. I had
wondered if someone would find a way to do a reunion for our lot, have been
back to Soest several times, but didn't see anyone, except for a few German
friends. I am Canada now, but I having culture shock to no end, can't even
watch TV, but I have one good friend, so I am alright, |
|
I am
very happy, however I would like to find Donna Watson. |

Interesting seeing the old

I left the unit and the Canadian Army in the summer of 1968 to return to
university for post=graduate studies. But, I had married a girl from Iserlohn
and so returned frequently over the years to the area even after the Canadian
units had moved to Lahr. |

In latter part of May and
through June, 2012 I revisited Germany and took a number of Pictures of the
Mohne Dam, Soest and the remnants of Ft Henry as well of some exterior shots
of Ft York. |
|
I also
visited East Germany and Berlin. Of course, we were not allowed to visit the
East Zone while stationed in Europe. |
|
I
enjoyed looking at a number of the pictures. I saw a couple of Sigs type in
the RCR pic. Ron McCaully and Fabian. |

We moved to Hemer when I was 5,
my dad being with the Royal Engineers. Im guessing that the Canadian forces
had moved out just prior to the British army moving in. The photos of the
quarters plus especially the school brings back a lot of happy memories...
Not to mention "Propper Snow" - here in the UK the winters are just
wet and even as an aduly I really miss the knee-deep snow we'de get in
Germany! |

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. |

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. |

Simply taking a trip down memory
lane. Remember the PMQ vividly. We livedat the top of the hill. Youngest
brother fell off the 10 foot wall running on the one side of the building.
The only PMQ located here and totally surrounded by the local residents and
economy. Wiped out on my bike going down the hill. Great times for myself and
my three brothers. |

I started Gr. 1 in Hemer. We
rode the school bus from Balve each day for three years. I'll always remember
the ride. Someone posted a photo somewhere of the Gr. 3 class that i'm in. I
think there may be others. My sister Claire was one year ahead of me. Our
father was Pay Corps and i remember lots of RCHA and QOR people. After a year
in Fredricton/Gagetown 1961, our family ended up in Ottawa. I've been back to
Hemer/Balve in 1989 and again in 1995 and 2008. I'll try posting photos
sometime when i'm back in Canada. |

looking over your page I served with the British Army in Werl in the early

on attachment to RCMP IN Bosnia. |

Just came back to the Guest book
to leave a bit of sad news. Cliff Mackay whose father Major Mackay was the
Mayor of Hemer during my stay there has passed away. 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. |

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". |

Well, since it's been 10 years
since Dave started us on this wonderful journey to our past ... I guess it's
time to sign the guestbook! I read it faithfully and am always amazed at the
reactions and comments from everyone who "lived the life" with us.
I'm also amazed at the generosity of our contributers and that these pages
bring back great memories to so many people. |

thank

My father was Major Kenneth
Nelson Webber of the QOR, 2 battalion. |
|
I was
only 7-10 years old. My father was very sad when the QOR 2 was changed into
the Princess Pats around 1970. |
|
I
remember him leading the Fue de joix? We used to watch him on parade....quite
the sight. We sat with the general. |

My father, Murray J. Morris, was
an RCD who was stationed at Fort Beausejour. My mother, Marion Morris, and my
two older sisters, Joanne and Monica, were there too. We moved to Germany
from CFB Petawawa. Mrs. Collins was one of my teachers in Hemer. |

After
leaving Germany, we moved to CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick, where we stayed
for five years in a small house on Dakota Drive. I attended Gesner Steet ES

My
family lived in Soest from 1953-57. My dad was in Public Relations for the
Canadian Armed Forces and reported for The Beaver, while my mother worked for
Radio Canada International. We lived in the PMQs and a young German woman
named Gisela lived with us and looked after my brother and sister and I. I
believe she had relatives in Vellinghausen. I am going to Soest in a few
months (September 2011) to re-visit the town and perhaps track Gisela
down. |

Great photos. Does anyone
remember playing in the Welshmier Forest (spelling??) We went over to Germany
on the SS Empress of France in mid December 1957. Quite a trip :) I was 8
years of age and we left Germany to come back to Canada in November of 1960.
Anyone know Laurie Linden? She was my best friend during that time. |

'trading comics'? (Often the only way to get a new comic). Shopping at the

What an awesome site! It has
brought back wonderful memories of a great time in my school life. Thank you
so much for putting this together. For years I have been searching for a lost
friend.... and maybe one day Heather Hiltz will venture upon this sit,e as I
did, and hopefully contact me. |

What I
remember most about my stint in school was the great teachers, the
competitive nature of the sports teams and the fun field trips we took in the
back of a deuce and a half with the summer camps. I also remember Lesley
Stevens wonderful voice and wishing I could sing like her! |

Thanks
again for the trip down memory lane. |

What a fabulous experience. I
tell my son & daughter and grandchildren about it from time to time. I
would love to be able to give them the same experience. |
|
I still
remember some of the great friends and the games we played in the playground
next to the school. |
|
Who
remembers 'war' where you drew the circle in the sand and divided it into
countries and tossed a stick and marked out you conquest? |

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 |

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. |

This
was my fovorite posting, while in Germany, I was part of the Guard of honour
on Vimy Ridge, I'm not certain but I believe it was in 1959 or 1960, I was a
Blacck Watcher, so Our Kilts, green coatees, diced hose tops, white spats,
belts and gloves made us perhaps the most colourful guard, we stayed in
Arras, which is a short distance from the Ridge. |

This is on behalf of my father,
his name was J Roy Boudreau, he was a gunner and then a bombardier. I was
just gonig through his album from Germany and I have a copy of the menu for
the 1964 Christmas Dinner. It was signed on the back by nine of his friends,
some of the names that I can read are Davis, Potter, Conway, Smith and Neal.
There is also varios pictures and buisness cards as well as leave papers.
Would be nice to talk to someone who had served with or knew him. There are a
fair bit of b + w pictures from Germany and Shilo. Thanks Al Boudreau |

Great

I would like to say that these
were some of the best years of my life and would look forward to hearing from
members that I have served with. Betty and I are now living in Pictou County
NS. I have been working with CFPSA (DND) for the past 9 years and am
presently working in Kandahr Afghanstan. I from time to time meet up with
many soldiers I served with. If anyone has some old pictures from the past
with me in if you could send me a few that would be great. All my albums were
lost over the years. Thanks. |

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. |

My father's (step father) name
was Russell Beaton, mom Rita,older brother Joe and Jimmy. Younger sister Una
and Mary. I was 8-10yrs old turning 10 when my father was posted to 26
ordinance depot in Cobourg Ontario. My memories of Soest was trading comics,
walking through old germany military dumps, going to the canteen and buying
candies off-base. Friends were, Drummond, Terry McGrath, Sloanewhites,
Gallagher, Jenkins etc. I remember the ball field, flying kites there etc.
Would love to go back and take the walk again. |

To
whomever may be interested: I have some old photos, not yet digitized from

the present. I have literally thousands of photos of the present Germany,
mainly from the Wickede area, but also of other places... also have many
photos of the departure ceremony of 2009 and the gravesite at Werl
(dependents area)... also hope to get photos of the soldiers' area this
visit... have photos of the 40th celebration this past May also. |

I just love this site and over
the years it has been the source of so many wonderful memories. I am also on
Facebook. 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 |

Hi everyone. |
|
Myles
Ferguson here. I have many great memories of Germany (many not so great ones
too.). I just stumbled upon this website. I Google earthed "Hemer"
and, on a whim, I did a search on "Hemer High School." Mike Lewis,
if you're out there, I hope you're doing well. |

Sandy are in pictures. |

I have
been to Germany a few times since but unfortunately never got to go to Hemer.
My favorite memory is the green green grass and trees. Bring tears to my eyes

My brother, Mike Keegan,
directed me to this wonderful site. It was the first time I have seen my
class pictures. I was in the 8th and 9th grade and some of grade 10th. What a
thrill to see all the familiar faces of friends and teachers. Sure would love
to re-connect with a few special friends. |
|
Thank
you so much to the folks responsible for doing this. I will check in from
time to time. |

What
a great site. Just discovered it while checking out some things about Germany
and CAF. Can't believe the pictures that are posted. Found my class picture
from 1963-64 year book. Class 7A. I actually remember some of the faces but
can't put many names to them. I remember the Teen Club and the little place
where we got fries, "Hole in the Wall" I think it was called. I
will check back often. |

This is a most awesome sight and
I just discovered it. |
|
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. |
|
My
sister is the J. Clarke (Jean) who is in a lot of the high school photos. She
now lives in the Lower Mainland. |

40
years ago today, at about this time of day (1730hrs), my mom, sister, brother
and I boarded a Yukon at Trenton to fly over to Dusseldorf to rejoin my
father, Sgt. Reg Turner, 2PPCLI. My first time on an airplane, stuck in a
window seat beside one of those massive turbo-props! 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! |

I was fortunate to be one of the
many young men whose lives changed considerably durung our tour of Germany in
the 60's. We were naive as to te world events taking place at the time and
how close we were to "Armageddon" in 1962. We continued to train
and "play" and have memories today that will always be special. |

I just discovered my adolescence
again on this great website! I had no idea the site was here. I will be
visiting it again frequently. |
|
It
inspired me to pull out my yearbooks and reminisce today. I realize how
fortunate I was to spend 3 years in such a beautiful little town and to have
had the opportunity to meet such nice friends. |
|
I live
in Kitchener, ON now and would love to get in touch with some of those nice
friends again. |

I was so thrilled to be told of
this site, and have spent several hours walking down memory lane. 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 able to go back to Germany

can still hear RSM Smokey Shaw and his high pitched voice when he was doing

Wow,
what a treat to find this site. It brought back a flood of childhood
memories. My Dad was with the 8th Canadian Hussars, Mom worked at the Maple
Leaf (Canex). 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. |

I am unable to find a contact

NRW and another 50 from Lahr. My NRW photos are of 1RCHA and Fort Prince of
Wales as well as in the field. There are also some of the Felsenmeer in FPOW,
Brigade sports, Kirmes and other activities — and 33 photos of the 1968 PPCLI
Band and Drill Team in England at the Royal Tournament. I was attached to
2PPCLI from the Gunners as a musician. I was Regimental Bugler for Lt. Col.
MD Calnan during his tenure as CO of 1RCHA. I would like to post some (or
all) of these photos to this wonderful site. I need HELP and directions.

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. |

Nice to see a local reunion in
Ontario... After all once a brat always a brat. 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 |

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! |

My mother forwarded this website
to me (it was sent to her by a friend). Thanks for putting this together. Had
a great time looking at the photos. 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. |

Brother
of Gary Jones in previous guest book entry. As he mentioned dad was in RCPC
at 4FDB, Fort Henry working nearly all his time in the office. Together with
Ivan Jones I attended the junior school but a year behind Ivan, Grades 3,4
and 5. They were great times and we all have very fond memories of Soest
which we missed when we moved to the UK after my dad finished his tour. Kept
in touch with Garth Hall for many years but lost his address in Dawson Creek
during my moves whilst serving in the RAF, would love to hear from him and
anyone else. It was a real find to come across this site a few nights ago and
the whole family is now enjoying it, keep up the good work. |

I love this site. I was at a

happened his sister-in-law was a teacher in Werl. I went onto this website
and found her picture in the school yearbook, and emailed her the link. What
a small world and this website really pulls the past to the present. Thanks
to everyone and anyone who worked on putting this together. |

Your website is really

It was also my first posting outside Canada although there were many more
overseas posting to follow as a Peacekeeper. Keep up the good work, I refer
to your website quite often. I now show it to my Grandchildren that are in
their late teens and twenties to show them what lief in the Army was like in

I have joined the BAOR site and
have spent the last several months thoroughly enjoying it. While I don't wish
to suggest we Canadians swoop in and "take it over", it might be of
interest to many of you that the BAOR site's webmaster has very generously
now included a history of the various Canadian forts. There is also
considerable discussions going on in the formum re Canadian Inheritance, and
shared memories of Hemer, Soest etc. |
|
It
might be worthwhile to check out (see the link in the Links Section). |

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, |
|

I was simple blown away when I
found this web site while looking for info on my Dad's military service. |
|
Memories
came flooding back as I saw the old photos. |
|
Well
done to those people who put it together. |
|
After
Hemer we went to Camp Borden then to Vancouver where my Day retired. After
lots of years travelling around I met and married an Australian and have
lived in Queensland since 1979. We have 2 kids Jay 20 and Kara 17. |
|
I never
thought Kara looked at all like me until I saw my grade 8 year book photo. |

I lived on 48 Von Holenveg and
was in grades 7, 8 and 9. I still think of the happy times spent there and
the little town of Soest where we walked along the wall around the city, went
to the swimming pool in town and visited lots and lots of castles. One of my
best friends there was Carolyn Webb... her father was an Anglican minister
and we had good times. My sister Wanda and I plan to re-visit Soest in 2010
as a retirement gift to myself. I can hardly wait to see it again. |

Was living in the Werl PMQ's
while attending Soest Senior High. Worked at Radio CAE during my latter years
in Fort Victoria. My dad was with The Royal Canadian Engineers stationed at
Fort Victoria, Werl. Both my sisters Helen and Johann attended Junior High
School in Werl and eventually my sister Johann attended Soest Senior High
after my time there. Great memories over there playing in a German Rock n'
Roll Band, motorbiking across countryside and taking the opportunity to learn
the German language. I eventually went back to Lahr, Germany (1973-1979) to
manage the Europahof Hotel for The Canadian Armed Forces located in
Schwarzwald Deutschland (Blackforest Germany). |

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. |

The
best years and the most memorable years of my life was with SSM Bty. I would
like some day to return to Hemer and Lahr to see all the places that meant so
much to me back then. I never taught I would ever be writing this back in
those days. |

We served in Soest in 1983-1985
on exchange with BAOR. I met many Germans who had fond memories of the
Canadians, and a few Canadians who had remained in the area after the
Canaidans left. I would enjoy hearing from anyone who has served in the area.
It was a great posting. |

Must say that my wife Marlene
and I are enjoying this site. The best years of my career were spent in
Germany. We hated to leave and were not fortunate enough to get back there.
Friends that we made while there are still friends that we keep in touch with.
Military life was great. We worked hard and played hard. Enjoyed every minute
of it. The Military was one big family in those days. |

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! |

Bob Whitehead for leading me to this wonderful memory lane. I hope someone

hung around together. If you remember me send an email, love to hear from

I was still living at home with
my parents from age 13 - 16, and have memories that will never be forgotten.
My father was Sgt. Cook, S.S. R.C.E.M.E. SF59110. He was Corporal at that
time though. I am in three of the group pictures in the yearbook, and my
sister in in the High School one in 1960. I have really enjoyed this website. |

Hi I loved my stay in Lahr! I
was in Germany twice before that, but don't really remember any of those
visits. 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! |

Berlin Wall construction and the Cuban Missile crisis. The global community
is getting closer and our history more condensed. |

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. |

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!! |
|
Merry
Christmas everyone, Frohliche Weihnacht, und Grusse fuer die Neue Jahr!! |

for a few months, which did`nt work as we could not speak german, and the
teachers did not speak english. Our next school was on base next to the
vandoo mess, our teacher was the base commanders daughter. At that time we
lived of base in town before PMQ`S were built, when was the school first
opened / please let me know if you can as I was only six or seven at the time

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. |

Best years of my life were these
three years spent with what I consider the best troops the Can. Army
produced. Not only were we excellent in what we were expected to do but we
always carried out our military tasks with a sense of humour and 'elan. We might
not have been the best educated of troops but there was nothing wrong with
our thinking process we could out think the best. Whatever happen to spr
Seymour from Thunderbay? |

I have many fantastic memories
of my time in Germany. They will last a lfetime. School friends,Saturday
trips to many amazing places from historic castles to lots of great cities
and towns, the Mohne Zee and dam, and of course the Deutchefolke young and old....so
many incredible adventures for a young boy. I loved Germany then and still
do. I have returned for a visit and work and would do it again at a moments
notice. My son has lived and worked there as well and agrees. The best of the
old world and new! |

remember playing guitar at sock hops or some other occasions. Jon Mcgrath
played trumpet and Gerry, I think, had an electric guitar. I also played
serious accordion in the Iserlohner Accordion Orchester (spelling?) with my

was a serving officer and my Mother tells me we were of the first Canadian

He passed away in 1961 so any information of this time in Germany would be

Great to see these pictures of
the "good old times" (weren't they all). I have always cherished
those memories and feel it is such a shame that our troops are not serving in
that theatre any longer. They don't know what they are missing. |

What
a joy this site is. I loved my years in Germany, met the best people, and
would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or not just as long as you
shared the experience. A special Hello to you Pat, we were in Grade 10
together, even on the same yearbook page. My thanks for your wonderful job of
putting together our military life history. Please someone let me know when
another reunion is going to take place. I would love to be there and see some
of you again. Hope to here from any of the old teen hut gang take care
all. |

Carleton Place, Ontario. I would also like to hear from anyone that knew my

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. |

I am really pleased to see
Ruetiger Lenk posted to this site! He was, apparently, living in the
Glaerbach blocks in Helle-Balve, across from the Balve Hoehle, at the same
time I was and, after discovering his site, he and I have corresponded a bit.
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! |

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 |

I'm wondering if anyone
remembers a 40ish Infantry officer Ed Lafleur, with the RCR or Vandoos. he
left in 1956 back to Valcartier and then to the Citadel where he retired in
1965. he passed away in 1983. |
|
but his
widow, Demerise Lafleur (Dempsie), lives in a nursing home in Kitchener,
Ont., and three of his four kids live in Ontario. the other, me, lives in
Courtenay, BC, where i was posted by the CAF in 1974, and took my release
from the Regular Force in 1978 and from C Class Reserve in 1980. |

Great site, brings back many
good memories. Too bad young service personnel of today will miss that
opportunity to enjoy a life with different trends and cultures. It was a
great education for my kids and family in general and look forward to any
memorabilia associated with the Military in Europe of that era. |

You have done a splendid job
with the 4 CIBG pages. Brings back a lot of memories after almost 40 years. I
was also a member of CAE (66-69) and the Beaver newspaper (66-69) and was one
of four members of CAE who attended 68 Olymoic Winter Games in Grenoble on
behalf of CAC and the Beaver. The others were Camy Mckay, Rose |

Sorry hit the wrong button when
I signed onto the guest book. My brother sent us this page and its
delightful. Lots of memories from those 3 years - The Centennial Club and
that great band and singer - went to a lot of dances there. Meeting good
friends - losing some - |
|
Those
three years we were there were the best.....lots of hard work but lots of
fun. I worked in the SSM Orderly Room - Ed Buszek - Rick Newell - Sgt Declare
as the 'boss' - Commanding Officer Jack Crosman - Capt van Aggelen as the
2IC.... |

Hope
everyone is well... |

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. |

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!! |

Great site - glad to have found
it. Often think back about what a weird and wonderful place this was for a
kid growing up. Sometimes wonder whatever happened to a pretty tight little
group of guys - the "Galaxy Gang" I believe we called ourselves
(space travel was big back then) - Mark Eldridge, Scott Adams, Richard
Mayhew, Pierre Desjardins - hope I haven't left out names, and spelling might
be off. |

Our stay in Hemer will always be
a memorable part of my life - what a pleasant suprise to see I'm not the only
one who felt this way. This is a marvelous web site. 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

As I think further on where my

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). |

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!! |

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 |

What a great site! |
|
It sure
brings back a lot of memories, exploring the caves (Heinrichshohle) wandering
in the Felsenmeer. Because I speak German I would take my friends into Hemer
to visit a certain toy store where we could purchase military vehicles (roco
minitanks). So many school trips, so many summer school trips museums,
galleries, castles, no wonder I became an artist! ...-) |

A small

myself are trying to plan a reunion for '07, which would be a 40 year
reunion--especially for the Centennial Choir, which was part of our
celebration for Canada's 100th B-Day. Any help in finding the members of that
choir, and other students in the years-1966-1969 who attended Ft. Chambly Jr.
School, would be appreciated. |

time and it seemed as if we had just parted ways yesterday.Drank lots of beer
and swapped lots of tales. |

In my career I have spent a
total of 8 years in Germany. My fondess memories were the years I spent in
3RCHA and 1SSM Bty. |
|
Some of
you may remeember my BSM and TSM in 3RCHA WO2 Screaton |
|
and WO2
Brown. They were hard but I believe many years later we all had a great deal
of respect for these type of soldiers. |
|
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. |

Hi, Everyone! I hope you are all
well and making the best of life. It's been a while since I checked in and I
just wanted to let you know that all is well with the McTaggart family. Both
Mom & Dad are good as are Mike & I. The family has grown with the
addition of 3 babies over the last 3 years. I still keep in close contact
with Chris Phenghannsl, Dave Fidler, Julee Fidler, & Carolyn Stone.
Unfortunately, our group suffered a devastating loss this Spring with the
passing of Debbie Little. If we ever find a cure for Cancer, it sure won't be
soon enough for me! |

Thanx
to Grant Clarke who was our neighbour, we had a wonderful place to live as we
started our married life. We "tramped" our way around Europe with a
tent and our Fiat 850 sports coupe and Kharmann convertible. Increment C was
the group that was left behind on bugouts as we were the ones who were to
distroy the base and remaining equipment if the real thing happened. Met a
lot of good soldiers and good men on that tour(66-68). This is a great
site. |

Was joy to see this site,found
it throught Shilobrats,I was surprised to see your history does not start
back in 1954. I believe that was when the first rotation for my father
started.Actually he was there in 1953 and family a year later.We came from
Calgary Alta. and travelled by train and ocean liner,took us almost two weeks
to get there.What a trip and what a surprise when we got there NO PMQs no
School,so we lived on a farm for almost 5 months and went to school on the
army base in Hemer.Finally housing was available and the school was
finished.Brings back some great memories for me I was 9 years old at the
time. Thank you Tom Powell |

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. |

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. |

Good times, great memories, and
wonderful years to be part of 4 CIBG in Germany with RCEME and the Canadian
Army prior to unification. Met some awesome people and had lots of fun
running around Soest and much of north-west Europe with my little Alfa Romeo
Spyder and close friends. |
|
Much
time spent on Bug-Outs, and good memories from the work-related side while on
maneuvers in Senelager, Saltau, and other parts of the Black Forest area.
Cheers. |

My years in Soest were the best,
I still have very strong memories of my school days, sports I played
(volleyball and basketball)and of the lovely trips we took when Dad got
leave. I would like to say hi to Chris Kippan (nee O'Donnell) and her dad,
Doug O' Donnell (in B.C.). Doug, also in the RCOC, served with my dad, Brian
Brady at Fort Chambly. Chris and I never lost contact and her friendship is
one that I value highly as the years have passed. Talk to you on the net soon
Chris, Nancy |

Greetings All! I think I am one
of the luckiest members of the Canadian Forces, having been able to serve a
total of 14 years in Europe. I spoke the language, therefore I was a

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!!!!) |
|
Now
that I've taken up a good part of the page in the guestbook, I'll say
goodnight. |

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. |

Arrived in Germany at 18 years
of age in 1957 green as they come right out of the Ottawa Valley. Departed in
1971 as one of the last to close out 4 CMBG, in fact Tom Murchison BGen
Gardner and Howie Pierce pulled the flag down for the last time. 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. |

Despite having polio while I was
there my years in Germany were some of the absolute best. Would love to hear
from anyone who was there during those years. Anyone else remember Jane
Hershler? Many thanks to those who donated photos to the site. |

Greeting to all my friends I
servwed with during these years...I played a little hockey whlle
serving...goal tender for the "Huskies" of the north, still the
best team to come out of Germeny....I am a bit biased...I revisited the area
in 2003 when my wife June and I packed packed around 18 countries in
Europe...things were different for sure...visited the bars and hangouts of
Soest, Dortmund, Werl, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and a ton more..I might add
June was not overly impressed with where we as young soldiers spent our
time....did a photo shoot of Fort Chambly and of course the "arena"
"HOME OF THE HUSKIES" brought back some very fond
memories...despite the fact I did more than 220 day on "confinement to
barracks while in Chambly...to all who remember the "GOOD OLD
DAYS"....Take Care...Go Huskies Go...God Bless... Donnie Cappler, Barrie

What a wonderful site! Brings
back so many memories seeing photos and names of people I knew or recognized.
I now live in England have done for many years. 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! |

Hi: It was nice to see some old
pictures of Fort Qupelle. Those were the days. I remember being at Go-Cart
races on that parade Square the day my oldest son was born. Oct 4 1969, Of
course in the BMH Hospital nearby. I named my son Tony after a good friend of
mine Tony Holden I think we had a few beers together. I currently live in
Edmonton Alberta you are welcome to drop by for a visit if you are in the
area. I would like to meet anybody from those days. |

Some of the people I remember
are the O'Quinn family, the Hoffman family the Meloches, the States, the
Davidsons and the Hilliers, the Bells and the Peacocks.I can remember the
P.M.Q. on Danzige Strasse. I can remember the articulated buses that would take
us to church on Sunday mornings.I remember going to Dortmund(I think) to the
sportsplatz for Dominion Day.I remember hitting Peter Meloche in the side of
the head with a centurion tank dinky toy because he said that the P.P.C.L.I.
was better than the artillery and I knew that was wrong as my Dad was 4

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 |

I don't know if it's cool to
send more than one message to this book but I've been very excited about
finding this website, I was six years old when I got to Germany and a kid's
take on the whole thing is quite different. I think it would be great if some
people would share their adventures, I know as a kid, I have a few tales to
tell. |
|
I may
be able to dig up a couple of old photos too. Thanks Alan Basaraba for your
pictures, there's a shot of the building I lived in. Paul Ferris' apartment
is in that shot too. Did anybody else ever fire off water rockets behind the
MLS? |

I lived in Hemer from 1957 to
1960 at 58 Zepplinstrasse. I attended grades 1-3 at Hemer School.(age 7-9 My
Dad was in the R.C.H.A. I vaguely remember some of my friends while there.
Danny Woodbury, Kenneth? Ernie? Robbie Payne. Sharon, the girl that always
stole my scooter, Paul Ferris |
|
My
mother ran the teenage dances at the school on Friday nights. I was attacked
by some of the German kids from the orphanage on my way there to scrounge
some chocolate bars one night and was saved by my German Shepherd. I have
many fond memories of Germany, I especially liked the area between the town
and the base near the glider strip with all the caves and holes in the
ground, my friends and I were always finding WW2 stuff there. |

Hello. I have found this site by
error. Imagine - this is such a pleasure! I have been back to Germany many,
many times and I always go back to my memories in this area. 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) |

Came upon this site by chance
and what a trip down memory lane. Although it will not be the same I am
definitely going to make a trip in the not too distant future back to Soest.
Played hockey for the Kline Huskies and have fond memories of the Teen club
and of course some of the local watering holes. Can't believe its been almost
40 years since leaving there. 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 |

Just want to say how much my
wife and I enjoyed our 3 years in Germany.Being a new unit (SSM BTY) we were
away from home a great deal of the time,therefore making it difficult for our
family's. but we persevered and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.It was made much
easier because of the great people that we had in the unit.We did some
travelling and I was lucky enough to be sent on course to England,so did some
travelling there as well. |

What a great 4 years, I ran the
main switchboard(Korbecke Military) in Fort Henry. Seen the closure of all
Forts until we finally were only one in Fort Chambly and was on the second
last flight out on July 07,1971. Learned to sail on the Mohnee See with the
Brit Sailing Club. I coached kids hockey and girls softball and my wife Karen
was one of the star pitchers in the ladies league. Children Kelly & Tim
still have fond memories of Soest and especially of some of our German
friends. Thanks to all for a great experience--- The Murphy Family |

Hello Friends, I hosted a
student for 1999-2000 from Arnsburg and returned to Germany and a visit to
Werl in 2001.Some of the PMQ's have been torn down but look much the same and
are used for low income housing. 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

8 to 11 years in W. Germany. I remember my 90 minute school bus rides the
most. Big green military buses took me past the beautful Mohnesee Dam each
day to Fort Chambly School. Also no TV for 3 years but that didn't seem to
matter as we could make our own fun. Enjoyed the local village festivals too.
The German people were excellent hosts. Thank you! |

happen from there. Hope this finds you all happy and healthy in your lives.
Take good care. |

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) |

Hello to fellow Soesters! I
really had a blast at the Vancouver reunion. A lot of people made an
appearance and made us all appreciate what an opportunity we had enjoyed.I
lost contact with a lot of friends when I moved to 4 Wing (Baden Baden) in
1962. Does anybody know the present address of Judy Jeffs? I would like to be
able to reconnect. Hope to hear from old friends. |

I'm presently living in Toronto.
Last nite a few of us got together at John Partridge's pub. It just so
happened that his brother Owen was in town from Egypt and his brother Barry
dropped in from Borden. Linda Prouse,Dave Flannery and wife Sherry Moore and
John Martin were there as well. We were thinking of maybe trying a "mini
reunion" next summer sometime, very informal, but if anyone else is in
the area and interested in coming out, just contact me. Great to see so many
familiar names on this website. Thanks. |

My error in my last entry was
the grades I attended in those years. I thought I was going to make it into
the high school in both grades 6 and 7 but they changed those grades back to
the Junior School. It was a disappointment not have made it to the high
school but attended dances, basketball tournaments and many other great
activities there. |

I really think the website is
the greatest. They kept changing the grades at the senior school so I never
got there. Would have gone there in Grade 6 but they moved that back to the
Junior School in 1962. Have looked at the guest book and see old and familiar
names of friends. My Dad was in the Pay Corps in Fort Henry (Sgt. Jean-Paul
Boyer - Good hockey referee) |

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. |

I was three when we got posted
there. My dad Dan (Scotty) was in Royal 22nd, the Vandoos at the time. The
only school I attended was nursery school there. My older siblings Joan and
Danny attended school there. My memories are vague but it was great to see
the pictures. It appears there is not alot of memories of the time I was
there. Maybe someone out there has some information. Please feel free to

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. Regards, Wes
Hamilton, Angus, On. |

I was pleasantly surprised to
come across this Guards site. It is very interesting and it does bring
backsome very good memories. My oldest son was born while I was in Germany,
at BMH Iserlohn. Coming orginally from Holland, being back in Germany was great
for me, as I spent many a week back with Family. I would do it all over again
in a minute, if not for the shutzen fest alone. Great set-up |

Great website, sure brought back

looking at the sight. If anyone knows where Diane Caouette (probably married

This is an outstanding surprise
and with very fond memories of my best serving years in the Army. I was
Married in Werl, had three children born there over two tours, my second son
David was buried in the Canadian cemetary in Werl. As a sapper there we worked
hard during exercises and by golly played twice as hard. They were days of
Good Soldiering, you took care of your buddies and all of CFPO 5050 were your
buddies. Soest- Hwy#1 Coppacabana Bar, Werl- Bruno's, Delinghoffen- Molly
Bar, these places helped bond us all together....UBIQUE.. |

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??? |

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. |

Once again, a very
fine memory album, Thanks! |

successfull.I met my first wife Marian Davies who was a teacher in Home
economics at Soest Senior Secondary.She organized a breakfast club for my
track fellows for early AM training before school.During the summer I was
also loaned to the Summer Recreational program and Sgt Willie Wyler and I did
Gym and swimming with the kids.Loved my stay there and the people I met.Some

As a relief Manager/Operator we
had WO`s and SGT`s status. And were at that time employed by the War
Department(UK).We travelled by troop train and troop ship when need be. I
celebrated my 21st birthday at Fort Prince of Wales. Spent the day exploring
the woods at the rear of the camp. That is untill some german Tanks (Training
unit) came roaring out of the trees, and I had to run for it! |
|
Most of
the time my accomodation was in the WO`s and SGT`s Mess, with 1 TPT Coy
RCASC. Room 13. Occasionally I would be posted to british units throughout
Germany, but always to return to Fort Chambly. |
|
Happy
days, unfortunately never to return! Thanks for making me feel at home! |

This site has brought great
memories. As a young soldier I must say that being Posted to Germany in the
late fifty's and sixties was an experience of a life time. The Soldiers
to-day can only dream of the time we had. Sure not very nice for them being
deployed overseas now. My prayers go out to them. |

Loved Germany as a kid..The
school was great. Mr. Potter was my favorite physics teacher |

Often
walked to the Dam (18kms)and remember the repairs that were visible to the
area that had been bombed by the DamBusters..Lots of German Military gear
around then.. Unfortunately I did not keep any. My Dad would not let me keep
the gernades in any case. |

I couldn't believe the rush of
old memories that came through when I started going through the pictures and
postings. I didn't think I'd ever miss being there but I suddenly realized
that I do. Do you remember the great beer they have over there? |
|
From
crawling through the mud in a total blackout while changing the transmission
of an old 3/4 ton Dodge to playing in a 24-hour curling bonspiel in the
hockey rink or "standing-to" at dawn in the rain; how could you not
miss it. Oh, and by the way, did I mention the beer? |

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. |

My sister Pat and I have just
spent the last few hours over the holidays looking at this site. She stumbled
on it by accident and told me about it. 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. |

Thanks for this. Dave |

He loves being in the Black Watch and always used to tell me storied of how
hard you guys had it back then. He really missed all of his army buddies. |

good times. I married a young lady from Werl and the ties with the ruhr sites
are still as strong as ever. |

hear from many of our German friends who I worked with |

this
day - Eroc from Breckerfeld, and Manfred in Dortmund. |

I stumbled across this site and
what a great trip down memory lane! Everything came rushing back and it was
almost like being there again! 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! |

Wow!! I have never been back to
Hemer, nor have I ever seen any pictures. The photos brought back fond
memories of life as a little kid in Hemer: soft strawberry ice-cream at the
MLS, 1/2 a piece of Juicy Fruit gum from the black bus driver!, a cemetary at
the top of a hill close to Bresslauer Strasse, cobblestone roads on the way
to the Peugout Bike shop (they gave out free hats!!) and so on!! The only

It was so nice to visit this
site. Just talked with Ed Hood, John Martin, and Terry Barratt, in the last
few days. It was so wonderful to catch up with them and theirs. Thanks Ed for
putting me on to this great site. So much fun looking at the pictures. It
brings back some of the greatest times and memories of my life. I work in
Shilo, MB and live in Carberry. Have two grown girls and 2 sweet grandgirls.

What a great site... What a lot

This is a great web site. It is
nice to see all the names of people that we grew up with and had and share so
many lasting memeories with. 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. |

Anyone
out there that remembers me drop me a line anytime. |

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. |

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. |

Thanks again for the great
site! |

Visiting this site and other

its the places, chocolate creampuffs and other 'things' that get the memories
going. |

We lived
on Schutzenstrasse (an apartment building with four families) away from the

Memories
come back pretty quick. I remember Eve and I were both pissed off when we got

Great site. Four years were
fantastic. Wish I could do it all over again. You can go back it time and do
it over again. I proved it-Grade 9 in 1964 and again in 1965. I cut it twice
and its still too short. |

Trying

that we
had a Hemer Reunion here in Calgary and the memories are as fresh as
yesterday. Would love to read some updates from more students from the late
60's. Have updates from many alumni and teachers if anyone is interested.
Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you. Hemer 1969 was one of the best
years of my life. |

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!! |

Great
days then; hope you all have great days ahead. Love to you all. |

bumps and hiccups in East-West relations from the early days right up to when

the Red Army Faction bombings while I was there, for example)and other

Receiving
a surprising e-mail from Collin Hillyard, which I had lost contact with for
over 31 years. We exchanged some e-mails, and have since spoken on the phone.
We had the opportunity to relive some great memories, and catch up on what
was new in our lives. |
|
As I
hung up the phone from speaking to Collin for the first time in over 31
years, I sat at my desk and reflected upon those people who have come and
gone in my live. I sat there a little melon collie, and found myself
returning to those days of two young kids who couldn’t wait to tag up to play
hockey, baseball, or whatever adventure that awaited them. |
|
I can
honestly say……. “we were pals” |

Thanks
for the great memories pal….. |

year in grade 3 at Hemer Jr. (with my head against the wall in recess most of
the time). 67 - 70 was in 4D, 5A and 6A at Hemer Sr. Still remember reporting
Russian cars that were in the neighborhood to the MP's. Keep up the great
work, will visit again. |

Just happened upon this website,
it's great. Amazing after 31 years to see names and faces of people that
bring back memories that had faded but were not forgotten. Not much contact
with Hemerites or Soestites since that time. Susan Boyce and Mrs. Schemmer
were the last......lost contact with both so if anyone knows where I can

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. |

Barrett mentioned that famous football victory over Soest the last year. THAT

of places and dad had great opportunity to ski - he was in the army olympic ski-ing

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 |

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. |

Arrived on my 18th Birthday in
Jan 1968. Lived in a huge PMQ on Freidenstrasse in Unna. Took the bus to
school in Hemer. Frequently hitched in and out to make it to hockey practice. |
|
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. Unreal |

I just found out about this
military site, it's wonderful, I still remember the days spent in Hemer,
Germany. I used to hang out with Jim Thompson and Laurie Lynch, I often
wonder where they are now?? I lost contact with them in late 60's, it would
be nice to contact people whom I haven't seen in so many years. We had some
great times, growing up.[ |

This site was a great find. Nice
to see familiar faces from long ago. My 2 brothers (Cletus and Normand) and 2
sisters (Linda and Shirley) started out in the French class (Miss Ethier) and
then moved on to the english classes. Our dad was with the 8th Hussars in
Iserlohn. We moved to Petawawa on our return to Canada in 62. Love to hear
from anyone who was in Hemer and might remember any of us. I currently reside
in Kamloops BC. I am married and have two grown boys of my own now. Cheers. |

I'm in
the process of doing some information gathering for the new Canadian War

military families, particularly during the Cold War, but also up to the
present day. |

If you
have any interesting stories, annecdotes or just would just like to tell us
what life was like living on base especially one that is overseas, write to
me at patricia.grimshaw@warmuseum.ca. For the sake of my internet service,
please keep your tale brief -- I'll contact you for more information at a

We lived on 'Breslauer Strasse',
and I remember there was a chocolate cream-puff factory not too far away (one
of the moms in our building worked there and we got lots of free samples--I
can still taste them!). Behind the PMQ's was a grassy area with all the
clotheslines, and my dad used to take the kids for motor-scooter rides back
there. I also remember tobagganing on the slippery sidewalk that led down
towards the MLS! Great site--I'm off to take a look around! |

Congragulations and sincere
thanks on a great site. Most sites are of the 'south', the north seems to
have faded away until now. In Hemer days we lived in Langscheid in a
beautiful old stone house overlooking the Sorpesee. A promise to myself years
ago was if I ever win the lottery will go back and buy it. Would love to hear
from my best buddy in Hemer, Larry Haslett or if anyone knows anything of him
please contact me. It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers me or

Great job Dave!!!! Really a nice
site and well oganized, but you are ganging up on me. I have to do all the
work on my site by myself, but I don't mind as long as it gets everyone back
together. Keep up the good work! |
