Samuel McAllister

British Army 102 LLA Rgt. Royal Artillery

My father Samuel McAllister, Mac as he was known, served with 102nd LAA Regiment, RA. It was formed from the 7th Battalion, The Lincolnshire Regiment in December 1941, and was attached to 1 Corps in Normandy, before passing through Belgium and North Brabant in Holland. The regimental headquarters were based in Prinsenkade in the town of Breda for a time and the regiment retrained in the use of rocket projectiles in an assault capacity. Whilst in the regiment Mac and met a Dutch Woman named Petronella, in November 1944 and married her in August 1945. The regiment moved to Wilhelmshaven and was there until it was disbanded in March 1946. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who served in the above Light Anti-Aircraft regiment during WW2 or who had relatives who did so.
