236batt

Sadly we don't know a great deal about this battery - could it actually be the Regiment's name. If you can help, please contact the webmaster at pecbsa@btconnect.com

We are also seeking information on Captain Henry Blake. If you remember the Captain, could you please click here to read a request from his nephew.

Good Morning

I found your web page, www.burmastar.org.uk, after looking for information on my grandfathers WWII service. He was in 236 Battery RA, which is mentioned on your web site. I understand you are more about Burma, but just to let you know, 236 was an anti tank battery, and when my grandfather served, they landed in Normandy, went across Pegasus bridge, and finally ended up liberating the Belson concentration camp. He was one of the poor few that had to bulldoze bodies of the dead into mass graves. Terrible, he was never the same again apparently. I can only imagine. I hope this helps a little, as you were asking for more info on this regiment, sorry its not on the Burma battle field, but thought I would write anyway. Please write back if you need any more info.

Regards

Oliver Brown
