    Maybe you already know for this but for every case:

    A short movie of 30 minutes in 3 parts, filmed by Colonel Harry Porter, of the 8th Belfast HAA Regiment in Burma

    Thanks for posting the video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought that the censors had chopped all footage of the guns, but the second clip lived up to my expectations.

    Nice site about 8 HAA.

    Regards - Rob

    Theres a fair bit about the 8th Belfast HAA Regt in 'In the Ranks of Death' by Richard Doherty.
