72nd (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery
72nd (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery was an air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army (TA) raised just before the outbreak of World War II, which served as part of Anti-Aircraft Command during and after the war.
==Origin==
As the international situation deteriorated in the late 1930s, the threat of air raids on the UK led to the rapid expansion in numbers of anti-aircraft (AA) units manned by members of the part-time TA. Formed in November 1938, 72nd (Middlesex) was the third of a new group of three TA searchlight regiment raised by the Royal Artillery (previous TA S/L units had all been part of the Royal Engineers and/or converted from infantry battalions).〔(Brigstock. )〕 It consisted of HQ and Nos 465–467 Companies (later Batteries) based at a newly built drill hall at Vicarage Road, Heston.〔''Monthly Army List'', January 1939.〕〔Litchfield, p. 179.〕〔Osborne, p. 134.〕 Shortly afterwards the regiment moved to Twickenham.〔〔(72 S/L Rgt at RA 39–35. )〕〔(5 AA Division 1939 at British Military History. )〕 It was equipped with the new '90 cm Projector Anti Aircraft', a smaller and lighter piece of equipment than previous searchlights, with a more powerful high current density arc lamp with automatic carbon feed.〔〔Routledge, p. 55.〕
