Bedfordshire Yeomanry 52nd Heavy Regt

I'm looking for information or stories and personal accounts regarding
the 52nd Heavy Regt Royal Artillery.
The Regiment had formerly been the Bedfordshire Yeomanry and as a Territorail unit were posted to France in April of 1940 with the
British Expeditionary Force around Armentierres.

Any information, pics etc would be appreciated

Thanks

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
