What wonderful memories! So strange to come across this website. What an awesome job done! Came across school photos of which my sister Debby was in grade 2 and one of which I was in Grade 4. We lived on Stettsteiner Strasse (spelling?) in Hemer from 1957 to 1960. Left from Winnipeg to Montreal by train then ship (Queen Frederica ? ) to Germany. Back in November of 60 on RMS Saxonia posted to Camp Gagetown NB. I will try to locate some of our pictures if possible from my parents collection and pass along.
Such a great site!!! We sailed from Halifax on the Captain Cook in 1955 and lived in Soest and Hemer, returning via the Queen Frederica in 1957. I was 7 when we arrived in Soest. I too will scavenge my parents’ photos and post them. (RCEME, LAD, WO2 A.G. (Tony) Rose)
