Rick;
The only component (or sub unit) of the 2nd Heavy AA Regiment, RCA, that can trace its ‘roots’ back to Military District No. 6, was the 8th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery, RCA, which was initially embodied as a unit of the Canadian Active Service Force, under the designation of the 8th Medium Battery (H), RCA, CASF (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) (Regimental Number block F15150 to F16149), effective 1 September 1939. The 8th Medium Battery (H), RCA, CASF, after a series of reorganizations and redesignations, was subsequently converted and redesignated the 8th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery, RCA, effective 24 May 1941, and was allocated to the 2nd Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Mobile), RCA.
