Hi all from a former Gunner and Cloudpuncher,

Woolwich Dec 1984 to May 1985, Le Cateau Troop and Sigs Wing.

12 AD Regt. (9, HQ, & 12 Btys.) Napier Barracks, Dortmund 1985 to 1989.

Anybody out there that knew me, a big hello.

Trying to compile the history of Dortmund' Garrison, so Gunners, get the thinking caps on and pull out those piccies.

Plus the other British units that were there since 1945 as Occupation Forces prior to BAOR.

Also the Wermacht that were stationed in these barracks. Anyone help?

Napier :D

Guten tag mine Herr, Velkommen (sp??? :mrgreen: )

I did some time with the US Army in southern Germany. If you need a bier or schnitzel, stop on by the bunker. :cool:

Hey buddy welcome to our site. I am an ex Gunner and served with 27 Field Regt Ra, we took over UBIQUE Barracks Dortmund from 19 Field Ra in August 1990. We disbanded in 1992 and 27 Fields Farewell parade was at Ubique barracks on 10th December 1992, the salute was taken by the honorary Colonel Brigadier Ian Townsend and Maj Gen Wurfel of the German Air Force presented the Regiment with a Fahnenband (a German military honour) in recognition of its long and distinguished service to BAOR. Little bit of info for ya there, Ill see if I can dig a bit more out.

I was also with 12 AD in Napier (THQ BTY) , I was moved there after my much beloved Regt, 27 Field RA disbanded. Didnt like being in a cloud punching Regiment much, nothing personal to them, just that I had been with Gun Regt's all my service and found the change over difficult. :mrgreen:
 
Bomardier,

were you there until the closure in '95? They had HVM's then. When I was there, we had 'Dusty Bins' - Rapiers!

If either you or Viking have anything as regards Dortmund Garrison. 'The Power Pub' and all!!!. Then pass them on to me via PM and I'll give you my email addy
 
Welcome , it's not yourself perchance that posts on GUNNERS RA is it?
