::''85th (City of London) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery, and 453rd (City of London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, redirect here'' 53rd (City of London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery was a volunteer air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army from 1922 until 1961. During World War II it fought in the Battle of France and The Blitz, and later served in India, where it was converted to Medium Artillery. Postwar it reverted to the AA artillery role. ==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 of the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA). The third of these was 53rd (City of London) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, RGA (TA), recruited largely from men working in the finance industry in the City of London. It comprised 157th (City of London), 158th (City of London) and 159th (Lloyd's, City of London) AA Batteries, the latter being recruited from the Lloyd's of London insurance market. The Regimental Headquarters was at the War Office Department in White City, London.〔Litchfield, p. 164.〕〔(1 AA Division 1936–39 at British Military History )〕 The unit formed part of 27th (London) Air Defence Brigade.〔('Titles and Designations of Formations and Units of the Territorial Army'', London: War Office, 7 November 1927 )〕 These 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. 1st AA Division was formed in 1935 to cover London and the Home Counties, and the 53rd AA Brigade was reassigned to 26th (London) AA Group within the division. 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'. Anti-Aircraft Command was formed in April 1939 to command all TA air defences in the UK.〔〔〔(AA Command at British Military History )〕 As part of the doubling of the strength of the TA after the Munich Crisis, 53 AA Regiment formed a duplicate regiment in 1939 at White City, which was designated 88 AA Regiment.〔Litchfield, p. 166.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「::''85th (City of London) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery, and 453rd (City of London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, redirect here'''''53rd (City of London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery''' was a volunteer air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army from 1922 until 1961.
