Well that site did bring back some memories!
I see that one thread before Xmas was calling for a reunion visit to Berlin by members who served there in 1989etc. I wonder what the uptake would be for a nostalgic visit to Lemgo? Anyone upto organising that?

Some of the arrest warrants may still be valid Hingey!!!! :bobby:
Good one..now Google Earth it.
Hi Al
Won't that make a reunion trip that much more interesting????
Still think it might be worth considering a nostalgic trip back to the old watering holes....just for old times sake.

hi guys,go to royal welsh veterans site,click on image gallery,there are a lot of photos of stornoway bks.also click on colin johns photo gallery he has 4 photos of 2nd world war photos of german soldiers on parade in front of the naafi in lemgo.
Just had a look at the photos for Lemgo. Nice to see the old place. Does any one remember the shop/Bakery across the road from the front gate ??? The smell of the fresh bread MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM lovely LOL
I remember that shop - apple strudel with cream from a machine. I also remember the butcher near Walter's bar that would ask you how many pounds/ounces you wanted, rather than kilos/grams - nice touch!
What about the barber some way behind the barracks with the shaky hands - styptic pencil always on hand!
There was a barbers shop was next door to the clothing store & we use to call him Herr cut LOL
Yeah i remember him, his shop was near a bar used by the pads on the estate at the rear of the camp.Quote:
