This website traces the history of the 58th Medium Regiment of Royal Artillery from 1939 onwards. Above is a picture of John Parsons (my Grandfather) who fought with this Suffolk based unit until being wounded in late 1942. Through the various War Diaries we learn where the Artillery fought, what role they had to play in supporting the infantry, the training and lessons learned from their French counterparts and the trials and tribulations of being involved in a World War.

I hope you enjoy this site, please E-Mail me if you have any further suggestions/requests or family contacts with this regiment. Long live the 58th!!
