Since all the references to "95 Fd Regt" are made on one day (20 Mar 45), I'm going to assume the clerk made a mistake and meant 90 Fd Regt RA, the SP Fd Regt of 50 Inf Div. I will update the Sexton pages soon.

Hi Tony;
... you beat me to it, I was going to post this in answer to Kevin's question:
Hi Kevin;
I think that the '95 Fd Regt RA' listed as the receiving unit on 20 Mar 45, should actually read '90 Fd Regt, RA' (90th (City of London) Field Regiment RA(TA)) who replaced 150 Fd Regt, RA (150th (South Notts Hussars Yeomanry) Field Regiment RA(TA)) within the 4th AGRA (British I Corps) approx. Jan 1945.
For the 9 equipments in question (census numbers listed below), the entries are all more or less the same:
Date: 19 Feb 45, Issued to: 259 Corps Del Sqn (1 Corps) From: 17 Veh Coy
Date: 20 Mar 45, Issued to: 95 Fd Regt RA; From: 259 Corps Del Sqn (1 Corps)
with all 9 equipments being issued to the regiment on 20 Mar 45, probably as replacements for vehicle casualties of one form or another suffered by the regiment.
NOTE: 259 Corps Del Sqn was the British I Corps delivery squadron
