Geoff,

I PM'd Gunner yesterday on this and no sign of him yet. Perhaps he's out in the Bush :-) I understand he's at a British Base so God only knows what sort of trouble he has found himself in.

I have Bedhams book as well and thats where my confusion my be coming from.

He lists the following:

3 Canadian Infantry Division
Artillery
Jul 1944
4 LAA REGT
RHQ
32nd LAA BTY (A, B and C TP)
69th LAA BTY (D, E and F TP)
100th LAA BTY (G, H and I TP


The BTY is listed with the following:
12x BOFORS (SP)
12 x BOFORS
12 x POLSTEN (QUAD)

SO...would they sort things out in the above Example that
G TP would be BOFORS (SP)
H TP would be BOFORS (Towed)
I TP would be Polsten (QUAD)

??? Thats my guess and the small blue square with the red block in that position makes this H Troop

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By 8 MAY 1945 they dropped the 12 Polsten (QUAD) and as such did away with the additional Troop in each BTY.

12 x BOFORS


I cannot find reference to the #1 either.

Very confused
