List of regiments of the Royal Artillery (1938–1947)

This list of regiments of the Royal Artillery covers the period from 1938, when the RA adopted the term 'regiment' rather than 'brigade' for a lieutenant-colonel's command comprising two or more batteries, to 1947 when all RA regiments were renumbered in a single sequence.

Royal Horse Artillery

Traditionally the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) provided highly mobile light field guns to support cavalry formations. By 1939 the RHA was – like the rest of the RA – completely mechanised, but its role remained essentially the same: provision of mobile artillery to armoured formations. As World War II progressed, this was increasingly achieved using Self-Propelled (SP) guns. The following regiments were designated RHA for all or part of the period: • 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (Reg) • 2nd Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (Reg) • 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (Reg) – 3rd Ant-Tank Regiment, RHA, 1941–2 • 4th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (Reg) • 5th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery – formed November 1939 • 6th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery – formed November 1940 • 11th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (Honourable Artillery Company) (TA) • 12th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (Honourable Artillery Company) (TA) • 106th (Lancashire Hussars) Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (TA) – converted to LAA March 1941 • 107th (South Nottinghamshire Hussars) Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (TA) – captured June 1942, surviving battery transferred to 16th Medium Regiment • 147th (Essex Yeomanry) Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (TA) – converted to field artillery June 1940 • 150th (South Nottinghamshire Hussars) Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery (TA) – converted to field artillery June 1940 ==Field==

Maritime

The Maritime Anti-Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery initially had 3 Light Machine Gun Regiments each with two batteries and one regiment of a battery of Bofors 40 mm. Port detachments were formed to find pools of trained Light Machine Gun gunners who could be embarked as required. Eventually the machine guns were mostly replaced by 20 mm Oerlikons and 40 mm Bofors. There was no higher formation, each commanding officer reporting direct to RA6 at the War Office. In September 1942 a gunner Brigadier was appointed as commander and in January 1943 the regiment was re-titled Maritime Royal Artillery. In March 1943 numbers were increased and the regiment organised into six regiments and twenty-four port detachments in Britain. There were four overseas batteries at New York, Port Said, Bombay and South Africa and four independent troops at Freetown, Sydney, Algiers and Haifa. A fifth troop was added later at Naples. In August 1945 the regiment was re-organised into 1st, 4th and 5th Regiments each with an RHQ, Training Battery and Holding Battery. There was also 2nd Regiment in India but this was not fully formed. ==Infantry and Garrison Regiments==

Infantry and Garrison Regiments

Garrison Regiments Towards the end of 1944 Britain's field armies were suffering a manpower crisis, so the Royal Artillery began converting surplus air and coast defence regiments into Garrison regiments for service in rear areas. • 43rd (5th Duke of Wellington's Regiment) Garrison Regiment, Royal Artillery – converted from 43rd Searchlight Regiment October 1944, reorganised as 600th Infantry Regiment November 1944 • 51st/69th Infantry Regiment, Royal Artillery – formed by amalgamation of 51st (Westmorland and Cumberland) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery with 69th (Duke of Connaught's Hampshire) Light Anti-Aircraft/Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery, operated as 51 and 69 Chindit Columns from October 1943, S/A October 1944 • 60th (North Midland) Infantry Regiment – converted from 60th (North Midland) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery October 1943, operated as 60 and 88 Chindit Columns; S/A October 1944 • 78th (Auxiliary Police) Regiment, Royal Artillery (Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry) – converted from 78th (Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry) Medium Regiment October 1945 • 639th (Essex Regiment) Infantry Regiment, Royal Artillery – converted from 64th Searchlight Regiment January 1945 ==Training==
