Notes

An annex of Münsterlager School.

The pin location is the village of Groß Busborn, the location of the Royal Signals base.

The school was located near the village of Dannenberg on the banks of the (once divided) Elbe.


In 1974, Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, announced he would be increasing the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany massively and reform the armed forces.
As a result of this, a new troop as part of 1 Squadron was formed in Gross Busborn in the Dannenberg Salient and tasked with reporting on movements and operations of the soviet forces across the border.
In 1984, the regiment was granted the Freedom of Dannenburg.
