102nd (Pembroke and Cardiganshire) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 102nd (Pembroke and Cardiganshire) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, was a Welsh unit of Britain's part-time Territorial Army (TA) formed after World War I from an existing Yeomanry Cavalry regiment. It fought in the Tunisian campaign and was then converted to medium artillery, in which role it fought through the Italian campaign, including the Battles of Monte Cassino, the Gothic Line, and the final Spring 1945 offensive. The regiment continued in the postwar TA, and a successor unit continues in today's Army Reserve.
