I have a cousin who lives not too far away in Kettwig near Essen and so will have some help finding the places and we are booked to travel on the th April this year. It is my wish to pay, what will probably be my last opportunity as I am now in my 60's, a visit to where we lived in "Ham Knockel" and also the barracks and then the school I attended for the 3 years.
They married in Minden and i would would also like to visit the old barracks Elizabeth? So I do not know where to start to get the information and would be very grateful if you could help. In hopeful anticipation and with Kind regards George John Turner.
Like Dislike. Go to site; baor-locations. Hi Everyone, This is a longshot but wondering if anyone has any information on Wellington Primary School I was a pupil as my father was serving in the 1st Batt. Royal scots. I had a great teacher called Mr Buxton. Love to hear anything about the school or any old pupils from those days. Along with myself my siblings James and Sidney Sid attended too.
Our address was shortened to "sliced sausage street" and was on the army complex net to a park and a very big forrest. My spelling is not good but our german address sounded like "slenzenze strausse"? Appreciate any information thanks. Suzanne Welcome I am no expert on Osnabruck but I think your father's Regiment was based in Mercer Barracks and you were living in Schlesische Strasse on the nearby Dodesheide Estate We do have Contributors who are more familiar with the area, hopefully they will be able to add more detail.
Hi George, you lived in Am Knochel, no H. I also lived there in the mid 60's, my dad being in the Grenadiers. I distinctly recall the bus ride to school.
