In the European theatre, the primary units were the 147th (Essex Yeomanry) Field Regiment, RA and the 104th (Essex Yeomanry) Regiment, RHA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 147th Field Regiment played a central role in the Allied advance across Northwest Europe. Landing on D-Day, 1944, as part of the 8th Armoured Brigade, the regiment was equipped with Sexton self-propelled 25-pounder guns, providing mobile fire support for the assault. Acting as a spearhead unit, it fought through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, supporting infantry and armour alike. On 21 November 1944, the 147th became the first Royal Artillery unit to fire into Germany, marking a symbolic and strategic milestone in the campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55667680969003,"sku":"9781474543026","price":60.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/rGEhTMSrMP9781474543026.webp?v=1790153513","url":"https:\/\/greenmangobooks.com\/products\/essex-yeomanry-europe-1944-1945-47th-essex-yeomanry-field-regiment-hardcover","provider":"Green Mango Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
