Sennelager and the Senne Training Area has been home to a number of different British Army units since 1945, and today it is where a number of units from 20th Armoured Brigade are located.
The official Army website and ourselves are working in conjunction to build a comprehensive history of the 20th Armoured Brigade. In 2008 the Brigade will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Anyone willing to contribute, especially for the period between 1960-1990 should do so by email. To view the history so far please click here.
