    Hi I am searching for info on the 53Rd medium regiment RA my grandfather served and died with the 53rd from when it was formed to his death in August 1944, I've got a bit of info about the regiment and have found all the men that died in W.W.2 fighting with the 53rd and copy's of the regiment war dairy's from the national Archives from the 5 June 1944 till my grandfathers death in August but I was wondering if there were other places I could look. I have started a site dedicated to the 53rd you can get to it atHome - 53rd (London) Medium Regiment RA there you can view the Debt of honour list.

    Kbak Hi & welcome
    A nice Web-Site for the 53rd, well done
    The 53rd Medium Regt RA, 209,210 Bty's
    Were a 4AGRA (Army Group Royal Artillery) Regt in 44 along with the 65th,68th & 79th Med Regts RA.
    Have you looked at the Diaries of 4AGRA which would be my next step, ref wo171/907 Jan-Oct 44
    Then i would try "Firepower" The RA Museum Woolwich, to see if they have anything on them.
    Best
