This video certainly brought back some memories. Worked in the Big House and lived in Auckland Crescent 1995-97 but can't quite remember what number although 56 seems to be ringing a few bells. Happy times, miss those days.

Das war alles mal unser Hardterwald . Nach dem 2. WELTKRIEG sind die Englaender nach Deutschland gekommen und haben die Waelder zum Teil beschlagnahmt . Ich war noch Kind und kann mich noch sehr gut daran erinnern, wie alles abgeholzt wurde und gebaut wurde. 10:26

We lived on Cornwall in 1980. It was a magical assignment. Many many social engagements, bike rides and great food in town of Muchengladbach. No American amenities though so very difficult for the Americans who were stationed there because of Brit/American arrangements. U.S. General Perry Smith who was the commanding general was no help whatsoever for the Americans who were stationed there.

At 11:52 I was interested to see the old Army cookhouse which apparently became a theatre! I left Rheindahlen in 1977 but often think about those great days, and great nights at the Marlborough and Queensway clubs! Thanks for the nostalgic drive down memory lane.

I was stationed here in 1960, working in the HQ of RAPC. My barracks was at the bottom of Collingwood Road near to the guardhouse. As a National Serviceman, we were paid very little so couldn't afford to use the facilities very often. Had to do an extra 6 months service due to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Best thing I remember is the sports facilities especially football and cricket. Worst thing I remember were the guard duties! Still, some happy memories.
