The War Diary for the 134 Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment for Jan to Dec 1943 is under WO 166/11752 at the National Archives. Link: The National Archives | The Catalogue | Full Details | WO 166/11752. This coould help with some of your research. Mark
If you can get to Kew to look at the War Diary, the reference for 134 LAA Regt for 1943 is WO166/11752. If not, there are a couple of Forum Members who offer a service. No guarantee it will tell you what happened though.
Cripes I did not expect all these replies, Thanks a lot for all your troubles, it has been a great help. Thank you
