Even though the support base was CFB Suffield, the holding unit was the South ALberta Light Horse (UIC 5013). I think they have/had a sqn in Medicine Hat and HQ in Edmonton. You have a Militia Recce ILTIS.

Hi Craig,

Thanks a lot for the information you provided for my Iltis CFR 86116.

Are able to find what would be the history behind my new Iltis trailer S/N 1522 and what would be the CFR associated to it?

Regards,

Capt B.

Craig,
Thanks for the additional info on my jeep 67-07832. Can you tell me what the codes mean for the following:
HUIC 0106. 0107. 1732. 0131. 2208
This should complete everything that I need to know on its history.
Richard

...what would be the history behind my new Iltis trailer S/N 1522...

Capt B -

Your welcome for the Iltis info and I will have a look for the trailer info soonest. In the meantime - are there any numbers or markings on the trailer that you can provide? They will possibly narrow down the search area. Also, do you know where the trailer was purchased when it was auctioned off? Cheers,

Craig

The UIC's (Unit Identification Codes) in your request are for the following:

UIC 0106 - CANADIAN FORCES BASE AREA SUPPORT UNIT VALCARTIER
UIC 0107 - CANADIAN FORCES BASE AREA SUPPORT UNIT PETAWAWA
UIC 1732, 0131, 2208 - (Unknown as these UIC's are no longer used)

Looking at these records, I seem to believe the 'H' in front of the UIC represents 'Holding', as in that is the base holding unit of a vehicle that belongs to a sub-unit falling under that particular base. ie. HUIC 0105 (CFB Gagetown) has UIC 1848 (2nd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment/2 RCR) located there. However I can't say this is 100% certain - but I'm going with it for now....

The last three have been changed at some point since they were used with your Jeep. Not to say that the unit no longer exists, but the former UIC that code represented may have changed for some reason. Or in fact the unit is no longer active. The list of UIC's I have is current as of a few months ago. Looking at your Jeep's info you will see UIC's 1728 and 2208 were units likely located at or serviced by CFB Wainwright, Alberta going by the maintenance records of the period. As well, UIC 0131 was a unit located at CFB London, Ontario according to that corresponding maintenance record. Hope that clears it up a bit. Cheers,

Hello Craig,

No markings at all on the trailer. I bought it from a car dealer near Halifax, NS last month. Hope this will help.
Thanks again for your efforts.

Best Regards

Hello Craig

If you have the time I have 2 more Iltis's for you to look up if you can.

CFR 86440

CFR 87066 This unit has an Air Defence Tac sign on it and I think it might have come from CFB Lethbridge

Thanks Matthew
