    Apologies in advance if the time frame is outside the accepted forum norm, but this was the only place which came up on a Google search that looked like it 'may' provide an answer :)

    I am trying to find out where the REME 23 AA Workshop Company was based in 1946-1948 and have no idea where to look to find the info.

    I have a National Service Army Record and the soldier was part of this company. I believe he didn't venture outside of the UK, he was from the North East of England but could have been stationed anywhere in the UK for all I know.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction to look for info, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you
