58th (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery was an air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army (TA) raised just before World War II. It defended the East Midlands of England during The Blitz, and later served as infantry in North West Europe at the end of the war, converting to the anti-aircraft (AA) artillery role postwar. ==Origin== This searchlight unit was formed as part of the doubling in size of the TA at the time of the Munich Crisis in late 1938. Formally, it was a duplicate of 36th (Middlesex) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Royal Engineers, based on 344 AA Company at Harrow, which was transferred from 36th AA Battalion to provide a cadre of trained men. Two new companies were then formed to give the unit the following organisation:〔''Monthly Army List'' January 1939〕〔(2 AA Division 1939 at British Military History )〕 58th (Middlesex) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Royal Engineers * HQ at Elmgrove Road, Harrow * 344 AA Company at Harrow * 425 AA Company at Drill Hall, Roxeth, South Harrow * 426 AA Company at Harrow 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「58th (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
