hi
my dad was in air movements at wildenrath
and we lived off the camp in wassenberg you might remember alan more as he,s 5 yrs older than me i was only at kent for 1yr previously i was at the bergeln primary alan left kent at 16 to join 14th/20th kings hussars tank regement dad was posted back to brize norton in the uk in 1973 i,ve not had any contact with any one since pity coz it was the best time in my life love to hear from any body from that time the only name i can remember was kurt hoyt

Kurt Hoyte runs a sports shop called Run in Brighton(I think there is another one in a neighbouring town). He previously was a graphic designer/illustrator.

hi we also lived in wassenburg what was your house number remember all the sledging in the woods this time of year on the half mile and devils hill and the little pub called tant lucie

I was at Wildenrath from 1971-1973...my dad was a Fireman and worked at the camp's firesection. I remember going into the woods, which were thick, dark and filled with fir/pine trees (scary stuff). I remember Devil's Hill and Bog Island VERY well; also the GSO Canteen - especially the dukebox. We used to play Telegram Sam by T.Rex on it quite a lot !!!

Devils Hill - amazing how the name stuck - was it the same one?. We lived at Pembrook cresent with the woods at the back back in 76/77, we used to go through the woods, up devils hill to "Bunnys playground" and then on to the camp site and annoy the Germans. Dad had a moped we used to ride around the woods and try and jump the ditch, after a few attempts we gave up (big brother Mike and me) and thought we better get the old bike back in one piece as dad needed it to get to work. Those were the days.....

I went to the primary school in Wildenrath in about 1967 for a year then went on to Kent Scool. We lived in Ratheim. My father was in the Royal Signals based at Berglin.

Hi Kevin,

I remember Alan, we used to hang out together. We dreamed of getting a band together at one time. He had long hair and glasses. Where is he? what's he doing now?

regards.
