    Hi,
    I was recently given this map from a colleague at work, it covers North East Africa.

    There is writing on the front which I think (with some guess work) says the following:

    Taken from German
    Nov 8th 1942
    I (maybe should be a T) / 55258 Bdr. Lurther ? ?
    246/24 the L.A.A Regt RA
    M.E.F

    As I said its not clear in some cases so I may be wrong, but I cannot find any record of 24th Light Anti Aircraft Regt being in North Africa?

    Would welcome other ideas if you have any?

    Thanks in advance as always.

    Cheers James

    Hi,

    Could it be 246 Battery 34 LAA Regiment - part of 50th Northumbrian Division in El Alamein Order of Battle?
