About
358th Battery, Royal Artillery
90th (City of London) Field Regiment was mobilised on the out break of war in September 1939. Equipped with four 4.5-inch howitzers they deployed to defend London and later moved to Sussex. In summer 1942, by now equipped with modern 25 Pdrs, they were sent to the Middle East, seeing action in North Africa and Sicily before returning to the UK. They saw action across North Western Europe from mid 1944 until the end of the conflict.
