Were 95th anti tank in July 1944 in Middle East changed back to 73rd medium regiment in Italy. Does anyone know where they were in April 1945. Thank you.
This is the best that I can do. When the National Archives re-open, get hold of Gary Tankard on this site and he will track down the War Diaries for you for Apr 45. My hunch is somewhere in the Po Valley firing shells at retreating Germans. Regards Frank
Sorry, cannot help for April 45, but on May 16 1945, 73 Med Regt RA were part of 2 AGRA (HQ Ferrara) and were based in a town called Cattolica. Hope this helps. Dave
Thank you Thank you for replying. My father was wounded at 2300 hours on 22 April and trying to determine where they were. After passing through various field stations was in hospital in Rimini pre op at 1630 hours on 23rd April.
