History of a Ferret

My ferret is a Mk1/2 and it was built in October of 1962. It carries the VRN "00EA85" and was delivered to the 5th field squadron Royal Engineers (BAOR) on 01/63. It then went on to VSD M.Gladbach (BAOR) 06/30/77- 08/01/77. Subsequently it was sent to Old Depot, Antwerp (BAOR) 07/27/78 - 08/31/78.

The next units my ferret served in were artillery. The first was the 7th field regiment Royal Horse Artillery(BAOR) 08/29/80 - 10/06/80. The next (and last?) unit was the 4th field regiment Royal Artillery(BAOR) 03/26/84 - 04/06/85.

And finally S/O M/Gladbach 04/21/93 - 04/23/93.

Would it be correct to assume that 00EA85 served with the 5th from 01/63 to 06/30/77? That's a long time!

Regards,

Matt Mortenson
