Hi Martin, During the second WW the Bolton Battery were know as 53 Field Regt Royal Artillery.

There is an address of someone in the unit in 2004 who had access to the unit museum. The message refers to Sources: Lt-Col B. Palin Dobson, "History of the Bolton Artillery 1860-1928"; aj Wingfield, "The Bolton Artillery, A History, 1860-1975. Also there is another mention of The Bolton Artillery: A History, 1860-1975. Bolton. 1976. 15606 VERDIN (Sir RICHARD). Presumably Bolton Library will have these two books so someone might be able to check them.
