Royal Artillery Units from Port Glasgow/Greenock
« on: Sunday 03 January 21 08:23 GMT (UK) »
All, I am wondering if anyone has any info on this military unit from Port Glasgow/Greenock area. They are Royal Artillery and my uncle is in this unit John Wilson Devine. I don't have much info on him with exception to what is on this RA Atestation that I came across from 1941. I have a picture on the unit and its entitles B Troop B.E.F 1940 but its to large to upload.

Thanks Rob

His service record will still be with the MOD.
See: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records
There is a fee of £30, and you'll need a death certificate.

Please note: these records are NOT available anywhere else ;D

It looks like his enlistment in the army was cancelled on the authority of the Ministry of Labour.

this is the picture that I was referring to. I wonder if the building in the background resembles some place local. My uncle is on the second row from the back 9th in from the left.
