To the best of my knowledge, the M7 Priest 105mm How. SPGs of the 19th were also turned into the Royal Artillery reorganization centre located at RYES, northeast of BAYEUX, where the 12th, 13th and 14th had turned in their's at the begining of Aug. I'll confirm this.

John;

I can confirm that the M7 Priest 105mm How. SPGs of the 19th Army Fd Regt (SP), RCA were in fact turned into the RA re-org. Centre at RYES on 24 Aug 44. What happened to them after that, I don't know. A source that may be able to tell us is actually due to be published this year, which is the volume of the history of the Royal Regiment of Artillery dealing with North West Europe, 1944-45.

Cheers
