6th Anti-Aircraft Division (United Kingdom)
The 6th Anti-Aircraft Division (6 AA Division) was an air defence formation created within Anti-Aircraft Command of Britain's Territorial Army just before World War II. It defended the Thames Estuary and the approaches to London during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz.
==Origin==
6 AA Division was formed during 1939 to take responsibility for the air defence of the Thames Estuary, Essex and North Kent, with its HQ at Uxbridge, Middlesex. The existing 27 (Home Counties), 28 (Thames & Medway), 29 (East Anglian) and 37 AA Brigades were transferred to this new formation, together with the new formations and units of the Royal Artillery (RA) and Royal Engineers (RE) being raised as part of the expansion of the TA after the Munich Crisis.〔(6 AA Division 1939 at British Military History )〕
The divisional HQ was provided by duplicating 1 AA Division's headquarter elements at RAF Uxbridge, including 1st AA Divisional Signals.〔Lord & Watson, p. 184.〕 The General Officer Commanding was Major-General F.G. Hyland, appointed on 30 May 1939.〔〔(Collier Appendix IX )〕
The divisional badge was a red arrow piercing a black and white target on a black square.〔(6 AA Division 1940 at RA 1939–45 )〕
