LANGELEBEN - THE REUNION
|
(How it all began)
|
Towards the end of 1991 advertisements appeared in
"The Wire" and "The Legion" magazines and other media outlets,
announcing the closure of LANGELEBEN and
a "Farewell
Reunion" to be held on 26 - 27 June 1992.

During the weekend a copy of this letter was available
for everyone:

Field Station
Langeleben
14 Signal Regiment (EW)
B.F.P.O. 101
or
3308 Königslutter am Elm |
|
|
|
All Langeleben
Old Comrades |
|
|
|
|
|
It
seems a pity to have contacted and brought together so many
Old Comrades just to see them disperse on
29 June for good. Regimental HQ Royal Signals has suggested
that we form a "Langeleben Reunion Club", affiliated to the
Royal Signals Association, with possibly an annual or
bi-annual dinner in somewhere like the Victory Services Club
in London, or even Loughborough. To this end, we would like to
gauge the support for
such a move. This would of course require the efforts of a
band of willing organisers to set up such a club.
If you are interested, then please return this form to the
above address.

the "Langeleben Reunion Association" was born.
