Sgt. Eric Simpson

British Army 1st Airlanding Anti-Tank Battery Royal Artillery

The 1st Airlanding Anti-Tank Battery of the 1st Airborne Division, famous for their exploits at Arnhem in 1944, actually made history at Netheravon. A gun team flew in a Horsa Glider with a full load of 6pdr gun and Jeep, on Saturday 26th September 1942, for the very first time in history. The gun team included :- Sgt Holmes, Bmbdr Les Towell, gunners Harry Townsend, Frank Greaney and Lance-Bmbdr Richard Flaherty. My father Sgt Eric Simpson was also a member of this Battery.
