6 June 1940 53rd HAA Regiment Diary

On 4 June 1940, the Regimental diary of 53rd HAA Regent recorded the completion of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk. The Regiment, however, remained in France.

On 6 June 1940 (4 years away from D Day) the 53rd remained part of 12th AA Brigade and the Regiment remained "on loan" for the defenseman of Nantes.

The 157th HAA Battery had 6 guns ready for action but there was no air activity. The Battery continued with field works.
