W/Bdr. Robert Davidson
British Army 50 Searchlight Regiment, 400 Bty. Royal Artillery
from:Liverpool
My father Bob Davidson served with 50 Searchlight Regiment (Northampton Reg.) RA TA, he was in 400 Indep FD SL Battery. From info I have found on the web using Google he was in the 400 battery, who were later attached to 30 Searchlight Reg. (Surrey Reg.) and was sent to North Africa and then over the Med into Italy, I don't know if he went through Sicily though. I've enclosed some snaps found of my dad's war days. I was surprised to see pics of him with the Northants cap badge on as I had always believed he was in the RA, still not 100% sure why this is, can anyone shed some light on it?
Editor's Note: 50th Searchlight Regiment were formed by the conversion of 4th Btn, Northamptonshire Regiment and wore the cap badges of their original regiment.
