    does anyone know which artillery regiment this officer was part of? He was a battery commander supporting 25 Brigade in May 1940. Ta

    He was OC 259 A/Tk Bty which was established as part of 65th (Norfolk Yeomanry) Anti-Tank Regiment. However, the battery was not always under operational command of the regiment during May 1940. It varied. For example, 22-28 May, it was under command 1 RIF, an infantry battalion - and thus the good Major - later Brigadier - answered to LtCol Gough.
