So, that's it. No more worthwhile photos possible due to no access possibility. I am happy to receive your comments, but repeat, that I cannot help with any information about people formerly stationed here.

Mid '65 - Dec '68. Wonderful memories of St Tonis and Fransisca barracks. Many thanks to Bob Cunnion for pointing me in this direction and thank you to the photographer for rekindling even more memories.

I was very pleased to recall memories of Francisca Barracks, and very sad to see them in such a delapidated state. I served in these barracks in 1952-54 and have many fond memories of the place and its people. I used to walk to the Optician in St. Tonis to buy my spectacles and I remember his kindness and tolerance for my awful use of German - I am still no better! Thank you so much for these pictures.
