I was in the 502nd Combat Engineer Company from 1980 - 1984. I also remember Smiley Barracks and Gerzewski Barracks.

Hello ken rygler. Did you know a dirk ike sommerset

I was stationed at Neureut, 620th Supply Company from Jan. 1966 to Aug. 1967. I remember friends like Frank Bachman, Ed Dobies, Harvey Malmom, Lyndie McDaniel, Ron McCusker, Sheila from the USO, and others on the tip of my tongue. I see faces, cannot attach names. Would love to reconnect.

Helle Laustsen posted... I am looking for a man whose name is Richard I Somerset. He served in the u.s army out of the office in Tennessee. He was sent to Karlruhe in southern Germany. He serve there from about 1957 till 1961 or so. He was a sergeant.

Hi Tony, my dad was there in 69 too, perhaps you know of him?

Jack Chance- I was stationed in Neureut from 1961-1964 and at 18 years old felt homesick arriving there from Texas. When I left there in 1964 it had been more of a home there. I also was in signal 69th and met some great guys. I have only made contact with one, Kermit Kidd. I sure hate that Neureut Kaserne is gone and would hope to return to that area some day.

My husband was with the 516th (??) signal support group. We were there sept 68 - feb 70. He was sp5 and worked under a 4star whose wife started a Red Cross and I was a nurse so I assisted a dental surgeon (McTavish) from Texas. We lived on the economy just outside of Karlsruhe on haubenkopfstrasse #7 as I recall.

Was there1979-1982 269th Sig Co. Debra Johnson Bailey. Married Anthony Bailey 93rd Eng Co. Loved it there it was one of Germany's most beautiful cities to me. Loved going to the restaurant across the field where they played ⚽! Visited twiced since then.

Wow I cant believe its gone. I was in the 93rd MAB unit from 1977 to 1978. I can barely remember the barracks. 565th engineers. I was headquarters company and drove a duce and a half. Steve Ryan...SP4. We bridged the Rhine river with the help from the 502nd engineers.

It was cold there but it was colder in Fulda, I transferred to the 2nd in the summer of 62. Ray Bonebrake

I was in the 269th '76-'77, a 52B gen'mech. My buddies called me "CB". I loved Karlsruhe and the forest between it and Neureut. Bader Meinhof murdered a judge downtown in those days. Lots of hash smoking in back then, crazy times.

Was there from around july of 1953 to april of 1954. Was hated by the Battery Commander Capt. Sandoval. Sorry captain where ever you are that I only had a few months left in my 2 year tour upon arrival. You never got to take my 2 strips although you tried.

my name is Terry Baumann. I served with the 269th Signal Company from 1985-1988. I was in HF Platoon, I had a great time and learned a lot about communications. Deployed all over Europe! Changed my MOS after being selected for White House Communications, made Sergeant Major as an Infantryman, I missed being a 31C, but made the right decision.

Was with the original 40th Ordnance Co from June 64 to Dec 66. There was a gasthaus not far outside the post called Menzinger;s. There was a nightclub in Eggenstein called the Circus Room. Anyone?

MY mother was stationed in Neureut with the company 269th 72nd from 80-86. I remember visiting the base all the time and hanging out in the bowling alley and even the little small theater on base (saw ET for my 10th birthday there). Good times.
