51st (London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery

51st (London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment was a volunteer air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army from 1922 until 1955. During World War II it served in Norway, The Blitz, North Africa (when detachments defended Crete and Tobruk), and finally in Italy until the end of the war in Europe, by which time a proportion of the regiment's personnel were African soldiers, and the guns were engaging ground targets rather than aircraft.
==Origin==

German air raids by Zeppelin airships and Gotha bombers on London and other British cities during World War I had shown the need for strong anti-aircraft (AA) defences in any future war. When the Territorial Army (TA) was reformed in 1922 it included a number of dedicated AA units.〔(''Flight'' 24 Aug 1922 )〕 The senior of these was 51st (London) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery, (TA), formed at the Duke of York's Headquarters in Chelsea, London with 151st, 152nd and 153rd (London) AA Batteries.〔Litchfield, p. 163.〕〔(1 AA Division 1936–39 at British Military History )〕 It formed part of 26th (London) Air Defence Brigade also headquartered at the Duke of York's Headquarters.〔(''Titles and Designations'' 1927. )〕 The original TA AA units were formed on a low peacetime establishment with a few old 3-inch guns on static mounts.〔Routledge, p. 40.〕
As Britain's AA defences expanded during the 1930s, higher formations became necessary, and the 26th AD Bde (now renamed 26th (London) AA Group), including 51st AA Bde, was assigned to 1st AA Division organised to cover London and the Home Counties. The Royal Garrison Artillery had been absorbed into the Royal Artillery (RA) in 1924; in 1938 the RA replaced its traditional unit designation 'Brigade' by the modern 'Regiment', and the 'AA Groups' reverted to the more usual formation title of 'Brigades'. Anti-Aircraft Command was formed in April 1939 to control all the TA's AA units and formations.〔〔〔(AA Command at British Military History )〕
