« on: Wednesday 17 March 21 08:15 GMT (UK) »
I have been asked by a cousin to post this for him

This is my Great Aunt, Ellen Holland, can anyone identify her cap badge. She worked for the
British army

Thanks in anticipation.

Your dates are a bit off?  Berlin was the capital of Nazi Germany until 1945 so she would not have been working there then for the British Army. Perhaps your cousin could look again at dates and places?

Can't identify the badge.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

After WW2, the first British high commissioners had their offices in Wahnerheide, Bonn.

The Allied Control Council (ACC) for Germany oversaw the Allied Occupation Zones in Germany. The ACC was established by agreement of June 5, 1945, supplemented by agreement of September 20 of that same year, with its seat in Berlin. Its members were Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States of America.
