Hi folks,
as me and my grandmother cleaned out the basement, we found some pictures of my father during his time in the BAOR.
I decided to upload them here, and added the original german quotations from the backside and tried to translate them into english. Please not that I am not familiar with british army terminology. So correct me i´f I am wrong

Great find! Thank you for sharing. I remember when my grandmother located the letters my grandfather wrote, from WWII(both deceased). He was involved from Guadalcanal to the Nuremberg trials.

Thanks The Scout looks like its in the Falkland isles and the first was a T55 1st Gulf war not many units did both

Thanks for the replies.
As far as I know has my father been on the Falklands, but after the war. The last thing I knew was, that he worked as a civilian for the rhine army.
