    Hello!
    Can anyone provide me any information regarding 2 Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Indian Artillery or it’s different batteries (i-e: 1 Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery, Royal Indian Arty, 7 Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery, Royal Indian Arty and 8 Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery, Royal Indian Arty)
    Unit was raised at Malir, Karachi in Apr 1941. However, it’s 8 Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery, Royal Indian Arty was deployed in Burma Campaign and Bahrain from 1941-1943.
    Any lead of the the British officers or their families who has served in this unit or it’s subunits, would be highly appreciated, please.

    Hi,
    The 8th HAA Battery is mentioned in this thread: Royal Artillery Detachment, Bahrain (H.K.S.R.A) in particular a long post by Rothy, one of the more recent ones. Hope this helps.
    Searching here using Google can help, you do have to be patient though. After a few searches I found this: 8HAA Battery RA Doesn't appear to be anything else.
    We do have expertise here on the Indian Army, so hopefully they will be along soon.
