I worked with the lads during the summer or fall of 86 on loan from The US Army in Augsburg. Because I was so young, I couldn't appreciate what an opportunity it was to work with such great soldiers from the motherland. We will always stand beside the UK.

Dear Keith,
By chance I checked on my ex email address (mikeandpip@onetel.com) and saw the newsletter for Nov 2017. As I no longer subscribe to OneTel I could not reply from that email. I have been a member of the Vets for some time. Please could you amend my email to - mikeshail45@googlemail.com. and our address to Calle Albaricoquero 12K, San Cayetano, 30592 Murcia, Spain. Thank you, Mike and Pip Shail

Interesting history. I was one of your Yank counterparts assigned to Augsburg, Germany, from 1973-1975. We had an exchange visitation program with your personnel circa 1974-1975. I still have some photos of some of your people and ours sharing a few (quite a few) beers at the Hofbrau Haus in Munich during that time frame. Cheers.

Was at Birgelen in 1959, as a relief operator for the AKC. We came under the War Office at the time, with WO`s and Sgts status. For both accommodation, rations and transport. Not sure of the manager at the time, but I had met David Hood when he was a relief manager, possibly else where? Enjoyed my stay at Birgelen, as they were a friendly lot in the WO`s and Sgts Mess, especially after having been with an infantry unit in Essen Kray. I used to go for walks in the woods, opposite the main gate. I was later that year, posted to the Canadians, for a total of five and a half years. In hindsight, the 12 years spent in BAOR, were the best years of my life! I was only 6 years with the AKC in total, the rest as a dependant.

My father, Brian Wheeler, served part of his National Service in Degendorf from 1955-1957 as a wireless/signals operator (for example, I recall him saying he listened to many signals during the uprising in Hungary in 1956) . He passed away in 2012 and I am interested to find out what I can about his time in Germany about which he had many fond memories. I have some photographs of him and his friends during that time which I can copy if anyone remembers him.
