Mick15 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Answering your question Artillery with 6 Armoured Div. in Tunisia in February '43 were apparently :- 12th Royal Horse Artillery 152d Field Regiment Royal Artillery 72d Antitank Regiment Royal Artillery 51st Light Antiaircraft Regiment Royal Artillery All were Divisional Troops and excepting 51st LAA Regt were with 6th Armoured Div from shortly before ordering overseas (June 1942- sailed November 1942)to occupation duties in Austria August 1945. 51 LAA Regt were replaced by 6 Heavy Support Company in November or December of 1944. Commander in Feb '43 was Major-General Keightley and the divisional flash was a white mailed fist on a black background. The Infantry brigade under the divisional HQ at this time was the 38th but they left 6th Armoured Div in mid February and were replaced by 1st (Guards) Infantry Bde in March. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
