I have been asked to try and find out whether the RWF either as a battalion or a company detatchment ever served in Minden Germany and if so which camp ? Minden garrison has been closed 15 years now and I cant find any info here. Would appreciate an help . Thanks SR17

The Battalion definitely were in Minden - St George's Barracks if memory serves me correctly. I joined them there as a young lad in Sep/Oct 1966 The main body was in Cyprus on a UN Tour at that particular time. We returned to Honiton in 1967

St.Georges Barracks, Minden BFPO 29 (Closed 24.09.1993)
