Military Chat

Found an article in the same paper dated 1948 where it says she was in a Hamburg school . It sounded as if she was teaching German children as it says they didn't have any shoes. Many thanks

Perhaps you could trace the family of the other person to see if they taught in the same school or place,,,,,,they may have kept intouch when they returned to UK.

No they were sent to different places. Also Vera must have moved around as we have a photograph of her where it says she is at a place called Bad Neuheim; that was at the opposite end of the country. In a letter it says she was a headteacher there.

Bad Neuheim Frankfurt was where the US was based,

Yes apparently she was on an American base at Bad Neuheim. The school has since closed.

worth a look.

there were 300+ British teachers destine to BAOR British Army on the Rhine)in 1946.

Trying to put a timeline together for Vera. Thank you for help given to date, information from the Sunderland Echo has helped enormously.

Have found Vera on the electoral roll in 1945 in Birmingham; I know that ER's were not done in 1944 but understand that two were done in 1945.

Is anybody able to do a check for me to see if Vera was at 23 Woodville Crescent in 1945 and in 1948? I understand that a national check was done on the population in 1939 and that this info. is due out soon on the internet.

Many thanks.

When I was at primary school in Soest, I am sure my teacher was Miss Sutherland. If I am right about this, I can tell you that I still have fond memories of her.
