HQ 17 Infantry Brigade, Gottingen, Germany in 1945
written by Lawrence Fordham
 Posted as a clerk from 2 Bn Royal West Kents who were at the time based at Mechelen in Belgium awaiting deployment to BAOR.
The main office was located in a large house requisitioned by the army in Herbergerlandstrasse, and we were billetted in the same building next to a Kindergarten which was run by a rather nice fraulein!.Met up with other squaddies who had been with the unit for some time, having taken part in the invasion of Sicily. Couple of nice canteens in the town, the Toc H and Church of Scotland where we used to gather in the evenings or when we were off duty - unless, like me, you had other interests to occupy your time!
Later we moved location to Goslar in the Harz Mountains, where there were opportunities to ride, ski, or go on a boar hunt, duties permitting! |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
