If anyone who might have known him or served with him I would be very grateful if you could contact me. My grandfather passed away in 1988, having never mentioned the war so I would also be very interested in reading more about the regiment and possibly also finding out what campaigns my grandfather was involved in. All we have are his medals and a couple of very old photographs of him in uniform.

I have just found your very good site and have seen a picture of my dad Cpt. Lionel Burrows of the 8th Belfast H.A.A Regt., I would be interest to hear from anyone who can give me any information on his service record or where can I obtain this info.

Today I have learned that during the second world war my granddad Thomas Armstrong Gnr. 781549 served with the 8th Belfast HAA regiment. Would any of your readers be able to point him out on any of the photographs please?
Kind regards  -  Wendy Burridge

If anyone could help me with any stories or information about my dad Gnr. Tommy Culshaw, he was daft as a brush but would never talk about his time in Burma and I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers him - Thomas Culshaw
