Gunner Henry William Edward "Sid" Edwards
British Army 110th Light Anti Aircraft, 362 Battery Royal Artillery
My Grandfather, Henry William Edward Edwards (Ted) Signed up in 1939 with the Dorset regiment.
He was transfered to The Royal Artillery in 1942. Not sure at what point he became to be in the
Wessex 43rd, 110th Light Anti Aircraft. I have a boxing trophy he won on the 31st May 1944 which states
362 Battery RA LAA. I have many Photos of him during the war, and have some information given to me by my uncle.
He was part of a 40mm Bofor Light Anti Aircraft troop. The bofor was a towed gun,
not a static or mounted on a vehicle type. From the information and detective work I have done,
I believe that my grandad was in H troop. 362 Battery consisted of H & J Troop.
J Troop had the mounted bofors. H troop i believe where attached to the HQ's.
The photo below of my grandad outside a THQ in europe.
I Would love to get intouch with someone who had a relative in the battery or 110th in general.
