Harry Mitchell

British Army 128th Field Regiment Royal Artillery

from:Liverpool

My Granddad, Harry Mitchell served in the Royal Artillery in WWII. The information I have been given is 307th Division, 128th Field Battery, Royal Artillery but this doesn’t seem to match any army divisions I can find. The nearest I have been able to match it to is: 128th (Highland) Field Regiment RA (TA)

Harry was about 22 when World War Two broke out and was from Liverpool so I'm not sure how, or if, he ended up in a Highland regiment.I'm looking for anyone who can help locate his regiment and help me work out the correct one he was in. Also anyone who knew him or anyone related to him. I've been told he was definitely based in Malta and possibly North Africa and even Italy but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Editors Note: 307th Battery was part of 128th (Highland) Field Regiment, RA, they served with 51st Division. Men joining up after the war began rarely served with their local regiments, especially if they were called up to serve.
