Hi Keith;
Two books that may help to figure out which Regt defended which fields are:
HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, UNITED KINGDOM MILITARY SERIES: THE DEFENCE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM,
by Basil Collier, Published by H.M.S.O. Books, 1957, re-issue 1994.
HISTORY OF THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY: ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY 1914-1955,
by Brigadier N.W. Routledge, Published by Brassey's, 1994.
Unfortunately I do not have either book in my collection, although they are both on my 'Wish List'.
Also, someone in the UK who may be able to help with the Arm of Service Markings used by the 49th LAA and 121st LAA Regt's, is Malcolm A. Bellis. He has written numerous booklets regarding the Orders of Battle and Organization and Markings of British and Commonwealth Forces 1939-1945 and beyond. Here is his mailing address, unfortunately I've misplaced his phone and fax numbers, but I'll see if I can't dig them up.
Malcolm A. Bellis
10 White Hart Lane
Wistaston, Crewe
Cheshire, CW2 8EX
I wonder how many extra duties the 'poor squaddie' did for reversing the stencil, odd though that it was never corrected?
You know Keith, I have a feeling that were going to find that the markings belong to the 121st LAA Regt.
Still looking.
Cheers
