Harry Ryder

British Army 25th Light AA Rgt. Royal Artillery

My father, Harry Ryder, after enlisting in 1940 was posted to the 25th Light Anti Aircraft Regiment of the Royal Artillery. He then went to Egypt and the Western Desert. It seems he was with the 81st and 82nd Light AA Batteries. They were later incorporated into the 1st Armoured Division. On 11th December 1942 he was posted to the Royal Artillery Depot in Egypt. He was then shipped back home and endured two torpedo attacks on two separate ships. Later he was in North West Europe with 745 Tipper Company. It's a long shot but does anyone have any memories relating to these?
