    Hi from Australia,
    My father was a Bombardiet in the Royal Artillery, I have only one sheet of paper with little information, and I am hoping to find out more.

    He was enlisted into the Royal Artillery embodied Territorial Army and posted to 21st. Medium & Heavy Training Regiment in 1941.
