I knew it looked familiar - I was at Caius many years ago!

Thanks for the military info - very helpful

Thanks Chris for the link. That's an avenue I hadn't thought of.

BTW - where's your Victorian postbox? Looks like Oxbridge!

Probably best to google for Regiment, see if anything comes up.

My dad Major Ken Brown was in command of a battery of this regiment for much of the war. I have his bare service record (served in North Africa/Italy) but no details.

I'd love to hear from any old gunners who might recognise the name or have any related info. or stories about what they got up to between 1939 and 1945. Thanks
