Enjoyed reading that, and well done for rescuing the 5.5's.
Dad was a bombardier with 10th Med Regt (RF)RA 84th Bty WW2, which had 16, 5.5's issued in May 43.
Your right about the Prematures, the regt had more men killed by them than by enemy action, all regts were visited by the Prematures investgation Committee in 44 to try to help them cut down, also trouble with the TUBES which were u/s if damp.
Have just finished a history of the Regt.
Have a nice pic of an "A" Troop 5.5 with full gun kit laid out for inspection.
