I created a Soest Army Brats page on Facebook a while back. The problem is only I could make posts while others could comment.

To facilitate discussion I have created a new Soest Army Brats Group, linked to the original page. This is a new private group. People have to request to join. This is to keep out spam and hackers, but it will allow members to post and comment and interact with other members. To join, just go to Facebook and search for Soest Army Brats Group or click on this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/702577524224183

Click on Join, answer a couple of questions about your experience with Soest Army Brats and agree to the group rules and that’s it. We have well over a hundred members already. Also, I have copied a lot of the Soest Army Brats yearbooks and photos over to the group, so they are readily accessible.

Have Fun!

Do any of you know anything about the Canadian pioneers from Werl who helped build the Sportstadium in Echthausen in 1967.
I received the following message. If you can help out please contact Andreas directly

Subject:
Help for Memorialsign
Message:
Hello,
i’m Andreas Baum and i’m from Wickede-Echthausen which is about 3km away from the Werl baracks. I’m in the Board of the association from the TuS Echthausen.
In 1967 the canadian Pioneers from Werl helped to build the sportstadium in Echthausen. In memory of this historical moment in our village, we want to create a memoryboard in our stadium.
We have some information, but this are just german information und only a few pictures. So our question is, may you help us to get some informations, like the groups, which helped and also maybe there is information about the machinse which were used so we can create the memory from both sides and not only the german side, maybe there is a contact of someone, who helped. In hope to her from you und stay
healthy.
Andreas Baum
