    As per the thread title, this something I tried to find years back with only one minor success.

    That was a single return for artillery pieces in 21AG, from March 1945, that showed all anti-tank guns, all field pieces (from 25-pdr to super heavy) and anti-aircraft guns (40-mm and 3.7-inch). It is only concerned with towed weapons or wheeled SP AA, the tracked SP equipment being included on AFV returns from Jan 1945 at least.

    Similarly to AFV returns, it is a broad overview only, showing how many of each type are with formations; though it doesn't show AA Brigades separately. I wanted to try and find similar returns for other dates, such as Jun-Jul 1944, the end of 1944 and May 1945.

    I've no idea where in the National Archives they might be, and I've had too many research failings of late to go fishing. If anyone has come across anything of this type during their own research I'd be interested to hear what it said and where it is.

    Thanks,

    Gary
