Good memories of Detmold stationed at Hobart barracks 1956- 58 with the 10th Field Regiment till they where disbanded, enjoyed every min and great mates.
Got memories of this place too. It was my very first encounter with "abroad". I was a 19yo in a REME unit in the Territorial Army. It was my first "annual camp" and our unit were guests of a REME based there and was in 1965.
Ah, "Fliegerhorst", staggered up that hill fnrom the KGV many a time in the mid '70's, that and the "KrabbenKeller". I was in 20 Bde HQ. When I got married we had a brand new flat on Hakedahl
I was there from 67 to 70 serving with the RMP. Spent most of my 'off time' with 3 RHA Bombardiers and 200 Signals Mess. And occasionally with the Royals Cpls Mess.

@@iceneweb RTR is only one. In 1939 had 8 regular batalions (1-8) and 12 terytorial batalions (40-51). In war forming four new regular batalions (9-12) After war this number batalions was reduced . After 1992 RTR had only two batalions (1-2). Now this is regiment with only one batalion. (1 st RTR). Regiments are only cavalry . Colonel in chef this regiment since 1952 is HM The Queen.
