In 1957 the current world wide system of BFPO numbers was first introduced to British Forces based in Germany. This necessitated some changes to the previous BAOR numbers to both avoid duplication and reflect the major reorganisations being implemented throughout the former British Zone of Germany. JPW

BFPO 35 - Krefeld

BFPO 36 - Osnabrück 

BFPO 37 - Soltau, also  Brannenburg

BFPO 38 - Fallingbostel

BFPO 39 - Bielefeld

(1) The reason for this was some silly idea of security when 47 Fd Regt RA moved into Mansergh Bks. The idea was that the BFPO number and the unit shouldn't have the same number, despite the fact that the address would have both the BFPO number and the unit title on the envelope.

1) The sequence BAOR 7, BAOR 17, BAOR 27 and BAOR 37 were never used to avoid confusion surrounding the handwritten English and German style figures 1 and 7.

2)   Bad Eilsen/ HQ RAF (G) originally BAOR 1?  Allocated separate Post Code in 19?? due to volume of mail.

3)  HQ BAOR/HQ RAF (G) moved from Bad Oeynhausen/Bad Eilsen to Rheindahlen in 1954 and were reallocated to BAOR 40.
