Lotus7, Many thanks for posting the photo of your Father. His titles are 'Royal Artillery'. The Lincolnshire Regiment did not become Royal Lincolnshire until 1946. It's great to see the distinction 'X' for the 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot. Les.
I think there some units missing from this. #1 The five batteries of the Royal Marine Armoured Support Group were deployed in support of the five brigade groups that landed on the British beaches. #2 The Combined Operations Bombardment Units #3 Royal Naval Commandos that formed part of the beach groups and carried ut a similar function to the US Naval engineers. Have you got all of these units under command and control of HQ RA 50 Div scheduled to land on D-Day? 86 Fd Regt (Herts Yeo) 90 (City of London) Fd Regt 147 Fd Regt (Essex Yeo) 102 ATk Regt (Northumberland Hussars) (- 107 & 289 Btys, + 198 & 234 Btys, 73 Fd Regt) Det 76 AA Bde RHQ 120 LAA Regt: A Tp 320 Bty 93 LAA Regt 394 Bty, 120 LAA Regt (- one troop) 362 Bty, 113 HAA Regt (+ one troop 366 HAA Bty) half 356 SL Bty det 112 Pnr Smoke Coy 54 Flt RAF Balloon Coy RHQ 113 HAA Regt: B Tp 320 Bty 93 LAA Regt 395 Bty, 120 LAA Regt (- one troop) 391 Bty, 113 HAA Regt (+ one troop 366 HAA Bty) half 356 SL Bty 152 AAOR 55 Flt RAF Balloon Coy Det 47 Svy Bty, 4 Svy Regt A/CBO A Flt, 662 Air OP Sqn 1 RM Armd Sp Regt 82 LAA Bty 25 LAA Regt less one 20mm troop 987 Fd Arty Bn US Army (5 AGRA) 420 Hy Bty (5 AGRA) Landing Sequence Artillery Units Juno Beach Mike and Nan Green Nan Red Tide 1H Four tps 2 RM Armd Sp Regt FOOs 12& 13 Cdn Fd Regts Four tps 2 RM Armd Sp Regt FOOs 14 & 19 Cdn Fd Regts H+20 BC, FOOs & Recce parties 12& 13 Cdn Fd Regts FOB BC, FOOs & Recce parties 14 & 19 Cdn Fd Regts FOB H+45 CO 12 Cdn Fd Regt CO 14 Cdn Fd H+75 12 Cdn Fd Regt det 51 Balloon Unit RAF 14 Cdn Fd Regt 19 Cdn Fd Regt det 52 Balloon Unit RAF Armd Tp 375/114 LAA Regt RA (40mm) Recce 86 HAA Regt RA.
