    Hi Phillip - Sadly I already have one addition for your RA site. My Dad's unit were 102 LAA Regiment (1 Corp Troops) and arrived in Breda on 10 November 1944 via Belgium. They fought briefly as adhoc infantry (Bobforce) alongside 62 Anti-Tank Regiment under command 49 Infantry Division. 336 Battery continued to use the Self Propelled Bofors after 10/11/44, but 337 and 338 Batteries were retrained as Counter bombardment troops (still part of 102 LAA Regiment) and used the Land Mattress Rocket Launchers alongside the 1st Canadian Rocket Battery. They briefly went back to using the Bofors when the Luftwaffe launched the brief offensive at the beginning on 1945.

    If you need any other info on this unit, I've done a fair bit of research.

    Regards - Robert

    Hi again Phillip - I'm adding to your workload already. Another LAA Regiment I've got to add to your site. It is 92 LAA Regiment (3rd Infantry Division Troops). I've been corresponding on and off with a son of a Gunner who served in this unit and he has compiled an excellent site of their history. You can see it at index . I'm sure he won't mind if I give it a plug.

    Regards again - Robert
