David,

I might have something in my notes from Playfair or some other sources, these are handwritten notes and no index, what is the earliest confirmed date/location you show them equipped with 6lb guns?

Thanks

Mark

David,

"A" Battery of the 95th AT Regiment was in Burma in March/April 1942, see below:

"B" Battery was in the desert in the Gazala battles, look at this link:

http://www.worcestershireregiment.com/w ... c/h_tobruk

This mentions "A" Troop, "B" Battery of the 95th A/T Regiment with the 1st Battalion Worcestershire during the Gazala battles in June, no mention that "B" Battery had 6lb AT guns, only 2lb AT guns were mentioned.

Hope this helps

Mark
