This website is dedicated to the Airborne gunners

of the 6th Airborne Division

between 1943 and 1948. 

This website currently includes information on 2 Airlanding,  3 Airlanding, 4 Airlanding and 53rd WY. We are in the progress of adding pages on 5 Airlanding, 6 Airlanding, 2 FOU and 2nd Airlanding Anti-Tank Regt. We also plan to include information on the Airlanding Infantry Battalions of the 6th Airlanding Brigade in the future.

Dedication 

"I decided to create and build this website in honour and deep appreciation of my late grandfather, Gunner Ernest Alfred Chubb, who served in 2nd Airlanding Light Anti Aircraft Battery R.A. (T.A.) from 1943 to 1945. During this period he was one of a small Special Service Detachment of his Battery that served in Normandy and was attached to 3rd Airlanding Anti-Tank Battery R.A. He was wounded in action whilst serving in Normandy and thus spoke very little about his service during the War. I miss him greatly and admire his, and his comrades, heroic efforts to defeat Nazism, for which we all owe our freedom today."
