    On the 8th September 1940, QSMV Dominion Monarch left Liverpool docks en route to Egypt.
    On board were the 6th LAA Battery, 109 LAA Battery and a HAA Battery from London.
    Can anyone identify the HAA Battery.

    "The HAA Battery personnel were all newspaper men and stock exchange workers from London. They were responsible for producing the Ship's Newspaper, the Menus and the Concert Programmes." Robin Martin (2005)
