Royal Artillery Regiment Crosby Liverpool
« on: Monday 21 November 05 13:33 GMT (UK) »
Have written to Army Personnel Centre in Glasgow but they want information that I havn't got before they can process my request. Can anyone help please? I am trying to find out the number of the anti-tank battery of the Royal Artillery which was formed from the Territorial Army Crosby/Waterloo district of the Borough of Crosby, Lancashire.In September 1939 they were mobilised and later took part in the North  Africa Campaign. Name was John Myles Francis Crayton born1914, Joined T.A. about 1936. I need to supply his rank etc. and obituary notice when he died  on 1st March,1972.
