	The Royal Artillery 1939-1945 The purpose of this site is to record as much of this service as possible. The site is far from complete and I doubt if it ever will be however, I hope it will be a continually growing resource for historians, model makers and any one with an interest in the Royal Artillery.
	British Artillery in WW2 This site provides a comprehensive account of the Royal Artillery’s methods in World War 2. It also applies to the artilleries of Commonwealth countries. It assumes you have a basic understanding of field artillery. However, if this assumption is wrong then you should start by looking at the short description of the Field Artillery System, and even if you think you understand you may get some new insights from here.

In that time, nearly 20,000 twentieth century military sites in the United Kingdom were recorded by an army of some 600 volunteers. The final report on the project is now available online.
	Anti-Aircraft An interesting website covering all aspects of British & Commonwealth Anti-Aircraft from the Second World War and the immediate post-war era.
