Does anyone know which British team played in Germany against the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) in Mid December 1947 ?

Both Manchester Utd and Dundee visited Germany in 1946, West Ham toured in 1946/47 and played a BAOR Combined Services XI in October 1946
Can't find anything on Dec 47

West Ham made three trips

3rd October 1945 v Combined Services in Berlin

9th October 1946 v Combined Services in Celle

4th June 1947 v Combined Services in Brunswick (Braunschweig)

Programmes issued for all of these

Thanks for the responses. I guess it might have been one of the Armed services teams and not a club possibly the Army or RAF.

Rangers played against the BAOR in Hannover wed 17 Oct 1945 and lost 6 -1! This single sheet was produced. On the other side is a small welcome message.

I've been waiting to see one of these. Jack Percival, in the Rangers game, was my Mrs uncle. I would be interested to see if he played in any of the other games
