Hi Tony;
This may help: -
The only 'Anti-Tank' assets, Royal Canadian Artillery available in the UK immediately following Dunkirk was the 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, R.C.A., C.A.S.F., consisting of the:
27th Anti-Tank Battery, R.C.A., C.A.S.F.
51st Anti-Tank Battery, R.C.A., C.A.S.F.
57th Anti-Tank Battery, R.C.A., C.A.S.F.
90th Anti-Tank Battery, R.C.A., C.A.S.F.
The only other Canadian 'Anti-Tank' assets available at that time would have been:
- the 1st Infantry Anti-Tank Company, C.A.S.F, of the 1st Infantry Brigade, C.A.S.F.
- the 2nd Infantry Anti-Tank Company, C.A.S.F., of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, C.A.S.F.
- the 3rd Infantry Anti-Tank Company, C.A.S.F., of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, C.A.S.F.
all of the 1st Division, C.A.S.F.
All of these assets would have been equipped with the 2pdr A/Tk gun at that time.
Cheers
