    Lists the following RF war raised battalions units converted to LAA

    14 RF (overseas defence ) => 107 LAA
    18 RF => 100 LAA


    Some, but not all Battalions of "the London Regiment " are regarded by the RRF as part of their orbat.

    3rd Londons is and was converted from, takes a deep breath.... 10th.[3rd.City of London] Battalion.Royal Fusiliers TA to 69th.Searchlight Regiment .Royal; Engineers [Royal Fusliers] TA. On 3 June 1943 561 Battery joined 570th.Light Ant-Aircraft Battery/Regiment?? RA

    12 & 123 LAA were both "the London Regiment" which is the London TA and can be regarded as the "TA Royal Fusiliers", but not by the RRF themselves!
