Gnr. Leonard Douglas Mitchell
British Army 62 Anti-Tank Regiment, 247 Bty. Royal Artillery
from:Brixton London
Leonard Mitchell served with 247 Bty. 52 Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. Can anybody please tell me where the unit above went after they embarked from England on the 3rd June 1944 as we are trying to fill in gaps in our family tree. The unit was posted into the 62nd anti tank Regimen. any info would be very helpful.
Editor's Note: 247 Battery was part of the 62nd Anti-tank Regiment, Royal Artillery and formed part of the Order of Battle for 1st Corps. As part of that Corps they would have landed at Sword Beach during Normandy Landings. The other Battery was 246. They were part of Corp Hq units and would have been used to support any of the 3 Divisions as the need arose but remained under overall Corps Control.
