    Hello,

    It is not clear to me that the 189 battery existed in 1944. On the website of the IWM you can find a movie (FIELD ARTILLERY IN ACTION ON THE DUTCH-BELGIAN FRONTIER (PART 1) [Allocated Title]) of this 189th battery in action near the Dutch border:
    "A troop of 25 pounder field guns from 69th Field Regiment RA's 189th Battery is seen bombarding 67th Wehrmacht Korps' formation counter-attacking 146th Brigade's positions around Poppel from gun-lines in heath country near the village of Weelde. The cameraman focuses on at least three 25-pounder gun detachments in action."

    If I search about this 189th RA I find things of The Great War,... ??

    I am interested in finding the batteries active during september / october in Belgium near the Dutch border ( Ravels, Weelde, Turnhout, Merksplas,...)
    Thx
