-- 68th (North Midland) Anti-Aircraft Regiment, R.A. (T.A.) - West Riding Area, Northern Command
HQ, 200th, >>>222nd (Derby) Btys: Derby<<<
276th, 277th Btys: Nottingham

don't know if this makes sense, but i read the same as you and i find this unit subordinated as above.
i'm not an expert, and anyone knowing more about this can certainly chime in if i have not read the subordination correctly.

the second page you posted has "222 LAA Bty" written quite clearly.

however, i find this information not specified as "Light" anti-aircraft but as "anti-aircraft". i'm going to keep looking but maybe the above is the correct unit.

hard to say. might help to know where he was based and even his name.

[Desertrat1921]

Hey, thanks for your response, his name was William abraham and I'm not sure where he was based. His medals have the 8th army bar and I also have his medical cards which say he was blown up in Greece by a teller mine, but I can't find anything on google about an 8th army 222nd LAA battery. I think you may be right by suggesting TA forces as there's a few sheets also with TA headings. Thanks again.
