    I was a member of Company B of the 547th when the entire batallion moved there from Fort Ord, California, in November 1958. I spent 32 months in Darmstadt and was discharged in July of 1961. Anyone from the 547th during that time period?

      Bob == I arrived at Kelly Kaserne in April of 1960 and was assigned to HQ Personnel. Sorry to say I don’t remember you but my memory is not as it used to be. My duffel bag was accidently trashed and it contained all of my contact infromation and a slew of photos. Any thing you may have to share I would certainly appreciate. Still trying to find a source that might have a roster in the 1960 = 62 time frame. This would be a source to start tracing individuals.

    I was in Charlie Company 1986-1987 , been looking for a couple guys with no luck, Bill (William) Davis, He married a local gal named Rinada (not sure if i spelled it correct) so unsure if he came stateside to live or stayed in Germany. other guy John Brown both good guys to hang with. Kept track for a couple years after going home, but you know how that goes.

      Barry do not know if this is the Bill (William) Davis that you are looking for, but this one was in C Company also, try wrd1945@sbcglobal.net

      He is also a member of the 547th Engineeer Bn Association. See my other posts about it.

    HHC, 547th S-1 Personnel Actions Clerk, 85-87, and then NEO NCO, and office clerk for 1SG David Mojica and then SFC William Letts in A Co. I remember you Chuck Francis!

    Does anyone have any contact with SFC Letts? Would sure like to get in touch with him. A great guy he was.

    I was stationed in Kelly Barricks from May 1963 to Sept.1964.
    Headquarters Co., S-1 Clerk. We built a floating bridge accross the Reine, many times. An occassional Baily Bridge, not accross the Reine. I’m originally from Brooklyn, NY, now living in Spring, Texas (near Houston). I’ve been looking for an old friend Alan Schlossberg. He left 547th about June 1964, he was originally from California. If you know him…have hime contact me please!
    I visited Kelly Barricks about 4 or 5 years ago. There was a communications batallion there. I understand there are no military there today? Not sure!

    I was assigned to HHC, 547th Engr Bn in Kelley Barracks from August 1986 thru September 1990. I get back to Darmstadt every couple of years and its amazing to now see that the entire Darmstadt military community entirely gone.

    I was stationed at Kelley from Apr 2002 to Apr 2004. I am now in Wiesbaden and just went there today to check it out. It closed a few years ago and looks so deserted and over ran with weeds. It was sad, almost like a friend was lost. Amazing how attached you become to even a temporary home when you are in the military. Gates were locked so I couldn’t go on, but seeing it from the outside was enough. Next time I go I’m going to try to get some pics.

      It has been awhile for me … All I can remember was a big middle field surrounded by buildings as it layout … the Gymnasium in one corner, possibly a theater as well … then the mess hall … then the Community Church … at each end one was the Commissary/ US Stripes – possibly … on the other end was where they have the group of Atomic Demolition Munition Corps … everything else was very vague … I was stationed here for almost a year … I had lived off base traveling as much as I can … Used to know a mate there, by the name of Jaime Rivera …
