212303 Gnr. Benjamin Alexander Gray British Indian Army 67 HAA Regiment, 189 HAA Battery Royal Artillery from:London My Dad, Benjamin Gray served in North Africa and Burma 1942- 1945 in both an artillery and infantry role. I have prepared a 60 page record of his service, units and events. This record is now with the Royal Artillery library Woolwich. If anyone has any further information please contact me so I can add to the record and pass the record on. Additional Information: I'm pretty sure my grandad is the gentleman on the back row furthest on the right. He served in Burma and after years of waiting, I managed to find and give him his medals in may this year. I showed him this picture and he said it was him. He unfortunatly passed away a few weeks ago in his sleep. His Name was John George Carlyon. He would have been known as George whilst in the army. He was in the 2nd Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment as a Private. Philip Ratcliffe Reply

My late father, Basil Albon served as a gunner with 189 HAA Battery, probably alongside your father in Africa/India and Burma. I would love to hear what you may have on the unit history etc. nobla01 Reply
