Hello,

I have recently come across some photographs of my Grandfather during active service in WWII and am trying to find out a little more about his regiment/unit. I'm hoping one of you may be able to help!

From what information I have I know that he served with A Battery, B Troop, 152 Artillery Field Regiment, RA in North Africa, Sicily/Italy and presumably ended the War in Austria (?). I know that in 1944/45 he was in Perugia, Rome and Vatican City, and from talking to him several years ago I know he served in N. Africa. I would be interested to find out a little more about the unit he was with (I assume the 152 is the same as the Ayrshire Yeomanry?), as I know nothing of its makeup or indeed where it went in any kind of detail.

I have had a look on the forums but cannot find much detail about this unit, so any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Best wishes,

Andrew.
