Hi all,
I lived in Berlin early 70's, my father was serving with Cheshire Regt at the time. I am trying to find out where we were quartered. I remember sandstrasse and Hettnerweg but would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on the 'patch".
Regards,
Martin |

In 1973 or there abouts I went to Brooke Bks with my regiment and had a wonderful time, even at the corner bar across from wavell. if there are any members who remember myself please get intouch.

If anyone from the British Infantry Brigade is interested, a section on the Berlin Brigade website by Reinhard Von Browski has been dedicated to the British Forces in Berlin.
Stop by and give it a visit and leave a comment on the guest book for Reinhard, he has worked hard on the site for American Forces and now a section for the British Forces.
Regards
Alan (Berlin 1990-1992) |

Follow-up from previous:
My assignment was a plum: sports editor of the Berlin Observer at a time when Berlin Command sports were superb. Eddie Crook won Olympic boxing gold in '60, Herb Carper set the world record for the indoor 60-meter dash, the kids team went to the Little League World Series in '60, and the '60 football Bears demolished all comers, led by Maxie (Baby Hughie) Williams, who went on to play with the Dolphins. |

In Berlin '59-'61. Entrained out 16 days before the Wall went up. The commies had to wait until I left, because they knew I would have torn it apart with my bare hands (gg).
Happy to read I'm not alone in believing it was the best duty station in the army and that the time there was a life highlight.
Went back several times...last was '71. Caught without a passport when the wall came down, otherwise I would have joined the festivities then.
Over message limit...will add another. |
