Hi all:
When I first saw the picture I thought it must have been a long 'round trip as Soest is in the Ruhr valley in Westfalia, Germany... I along with thousands of other base brats were born there (actually in the British Military Hospital in Iserlohn, just down the road) in the 50's, 60's and early 70's.
I googled "Soest" and learned that there is a town of that name in Holland near Utrecht. Damn, this site is educational and entertaining!
