Hi I was part of 25 Field Squadron from March 85 through to April 1990. Originally I joined 23 Engineer Regt (25 Squadron) when they were based in Osnabruk. The whole squadron moved to Iserlohn in 1986 to become part of 26 Engineer Regt. The emblem if I remember correctly does come from the boxer rebellion but I only heard that off the old sweats at that time. We did of course run CVRT Spartans at that time. I think we had two per troop (SSgt and Reece Sgt) used them. Spent many an hour in one of them. I do remember an incident when there was an engine fire on one of them. The driver did get badly scorched but recovered well.
