    Hey all,

    I was looking for some information on my Grandfather's unit. He was posted to the 110th Field Regiment / 208th Field Battery in June 1939.

    Best I can figure it was the 110th Manchester LAA Regiment that was part of the 59th AGRA.

    Any information would be great appreciated and any links to resources even more so!.

    TIA
    Rich
