25 Field Engineer Regt
This is the holding page for this unit. Anyone got any interesting stories of 25 to put here?
Terry Dapp has sent me this -
25 was based at Invicta Lines Maidstone, which I joined in January 1951, was to be a contingent part of the 3rd Infantry Division which was reformed in that year.
In November 1951 a Squadron (46 Field Park Squadron) was sent to Cyprus and in April 1952 joined the rest of the Regt which went to Egypt.,and I believe was based in Moascar where it stayed until 1954?
The Regt also did a stint in Northern Ireland based at Antrim, not sure of dates but after Egypt.
37 Field Squadron, part of 25 FER served in Cyprus Oct !955 - March1956.
Later 25 FER was an Air Support unit based at Waterbeach up to 2011 and finally disbanded between November 2011 and April 2012
