I've never looked in here before; never knew it existed. Can someone please tell me if there's still a British presence in Nienburg, north of Hanover? I was out there in the late 1960s - 1st Field Squadron Royal Engineers, 24147160, later rose to the dizzy heights of LCpl. Also was attached to 79 Railway Squadron RCT at Moenchengladbach near Rheindalen. About fifteen years ago, whilst on holiday in Holland, I took the family back to Moenchengladbach, the old unit was much smarter than I remembered it, even had women in the RCT, unheard of in my day. I think even 'RCT' has changed now.
My son is now 26 and in the RAF; just returned from Khandahar in Afghanistan.
21 Engineer Regt was the last unit in Nienburg, they moved to Osnabruck in 96/97. Nienburg was a nice place though enjoyed my time there.
