157th HAA Battery Diary Entry 9 May 1940

My blog returns to 1940 after a brief foray into 1945 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of VE Day.

The Battery diary has the following entry for 9 May 1940. One can't help but think that that after all the months of preparation the removal of 2 guns is particularly poor timing.

No.1 and 2 guns at PIP II (south) placed out of action owing to the removal of receiving dials to change over from A.R.C. to "M" Type transmission. (Predictors)
