RA 1939-45 111 LAA 111 Light AA Regiment RA(TA) Locations Dec 41 Formed from 7 Dorsets Dec 41 Home Forces UK Mar 45 Disbanded The war diaries at Kew are all listed as UK Home Forces, confirming the places on that framed item, but I can only find them going up to Oct '44. Would not be surprised if the men went on to help fill the shortage of infantry places. Might take a peek at the diary when next at Kew.
