can anyone tell me what kind of gun would 347th bty use? This is the most common the 3.7inch HAA Gun 4.0/4.5 inch HAA Gun
i've noted on another ww2talk thread that 111 Regt HAA were involved in the defence of The Clyde and Glasgow prior to being posted to NWE as part of 42 AA Bde. Would this mean that all batterys of 111 Regt would be in Scotland? I have 321/111 posted at Carmunnock
In general yes. It is possible for individual Btys to be sent away on temporary duty elsewhere but this was more common for LAA rather than HAA. The only thing certain about researching history is you can never be certain about anything
ok, scrub everything. just got the documents scanned to me by my brother. there is a service card and an internal memo both identifying the LAA records office at Ibex House, Minories EC3, the senders ref being LAA/Div5/2. I cannot work out how to upload the images on this system but if anyone wishes me to e-mail them i am happy to do so.
Tim A belated welceome to the forum ! I see that you are in good hands so I will leave you to it. Good luck ! Ron

Hi Tim This is a good example of how important it is to have service records to identify a unit. Does the document have a date? I have the Orbat for 5 Div in France, 1940. If you can't get them on the forum-I'll post them for you. drew5233 at hotmail.com Cheers Andy

Thanks Ron and Andy I have e-mailed the docs to Rob who has kindly offered to upload them to the site so i will look forward to your interpretations! Tim
What are the size in megabytes of the individual photos. You might be sending too many in one go. Don't send anything over 6 megabytes.
Here are the Srvice docs i have for my Grandad who is 3rd row from the front, 9th from the left (arms folded).
