I was part of the 503rd Engineer Light Equipment Company. We flew into Berlin from Hanau in early 1949. Our task was to build a new runway and expand Tegel airport for the airlift. We departed Berlin after completing the job in late July 1949. I visited Berlin in 1980.
I found your site while seeking information for a history of the 503rd I am writing. Any help with newspaper articals etc, about the airlift or constuction of Tegel in 1948-1949 that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. |

Thanks for offering your site.
I served mid-60s as a 98G [Russian] with 78th USASA at Andrews Barracks. Looking for anyone who has a unit insignia to spare [Eagle on Keystone, scroll below].
Best Wishes All!

This should be very interesting, I served with the 14th/20th King's Hussars in Smuts Barracks next door to Spandau Prison where a certain Herr Hess stayed for a while. I have added a link to the site and will inform all those I know that served there of your presence. Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Hi, I lived in Berlin (near the Olympic Stadium) just before the wall went up.
Served there again (once more in Brooke Barracks) in 1973 with 1st Bn The King's Own Scottish Borderers the battalion were presented with new colours in the Deutschland Halle in 1975.
1KOSB returned to Berlin (Brooke Barracks) for a third tour in 1987-89. Wonderful place wonderful people, great posting, up there with Hong Kong and Singapore as a peacetime location.
Happy days! |

David, it appears that you did leave out 4/18 Inf. Can not forget them - they were formed up (I believe) in 1960? Will check to see if I have a 'picture' of their crest, I believe that they did have the Berlin patch also ?????????? |
