		The British Forces Germany (BFG) is the successor of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) and Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG), which were disbanded due to the end of the Cold War as well as cuts in the armed forces due to HM Government's Options for Change.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Third Battle of Ypres, 1917
		British Prime Minister David Lloyd George was opposed to the Passchendaele offensive, and later came out highly critical of Haig’s strategy and tactics in his published memoirs, but in the absence of a credible alternative to Haig he felt obliged to sanction Haig’s plans.
		With the patent instability of Russian forces in the field, and the possibility of a Russian withdrawal from the war, action certainly appeared to be mandated in the summer of 1917.
		British attempts to renew the offensive over the course of the next few days were severely hampered by the onset of heavy rains, the heaviest in 30 years, which churned the Flanders lowland soil into a thick muddy swamp.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck
		Jan Smuts - himself an enemy of the British during the Boer War of 1899-1902, but now serving with them - was tasked in March 1916 with dealing with Lettow-Vorbeck, and in doing so launched an attack from South Africa with a force of 45,000 men.
		With his forces running low on supplies - both ammunition and food - Lettow-Vorbeck was forced to live off the land, although a successful raid upon a Portuguese arms dump near the Mozambique border largely resolved his arms shortage.
		Returning to Germany as a national hero (and having been promoted general in the field), Lettow-Vorbeck was likewise admired by his former enemies as a courageous, tenacious and honourable fighter.

	106th Cavalry Group Web Site
		When hostile forces were encountered, it was their job to engage them for the purpose of determining how large and in what position the enemy was to be found, and report this information back to the main command.
		Although duty was comparatively light during the Spring and Summer of 1945, the 106th did contribute soldiers to the multi-national military police forces assigned to patrol the streets of Salzburg after the war.
		From their first arrival on the beaches of Normandy in early July, 1944, across the Rhine River into Germany and through to the surrender of Axis forces in May, 1945, the 106th proved that light cavalry still had a vital role to play in the era of modern warfare.

		Confidential inquiries into cases of cot death in British Forces Germany were introduced in 1990.
		The information which has been collected so far suggests that the current attention to the position in which a baby is placed in a cot, the prevention of overheating and the avoidance of cigarette smoke, is not misplaced.
		Despite the considerable reduction in the cot death rate which has occurred in British Forces Germany since 1990 it is recommended that confidential inquiries should be continued so that possible opportunities to further reduce the risks are not missed.
