Helen, How nice, it is all very exciting when you move don't you think? Good luch with the move.. Ed, I would be quite happy for a posting there!! Susie xx

Susie. Thanks for the info, there is a massive development of the Garrison in Colchester it is costing about 2billion pounds they are virtually moving the whole garrison out of town and on to a new site, so the future for the army in Colchester looks ok.

Susie, I live in south east France just south of Lyon, in a small town called Vienne, but in 10 days time we're moving to Normandy because my husband is being relocated. I'll no longer be amongst the vineyards but amongst the apple trees! OMG 10 days! Must go and pack some boxes. Helenxx

Great thread... Born in Mona Taylor Hospital in Morpeth. Taken home to Cramlington where I lived on and off for some 27 years. Also lived in Tamworth, Staffs, Salford (only for a few months) and no prizes for guessing where for the last ten years. Mx

Hi Ed, Not in Lubbecke they haven't!! Munster only has 2 camps now instead of the 5 it used to have and Osnabruck still has it's camps....Paderborn has camps and lots of the barracks here basically have been returned to the stadt's and used as office's, flats etc...now, just shows how we as the British army are slowly but surely pulling out of Germany!! Susie xx

Susie, I used to live in Lubbecke which was in between Osnabruck and Minden do you know if they have still got any army bases there?

I was born in Manzini, Swaziland and I bet you can't guess where I live now?! My Dad was born in Colchester though, I'll have to ask him if he knows where. Helenxx
