Archer units in ww2:
- 20th Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery
- 18th Battery, 2nd Anti-Tank Regiment, 4th Brigade, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division
- ? Anti-Tank Regiment, 15th Scottish Division
- 314th Battery, 105th Anti-Tank Regiment, XIII Corps
A british battery had 12 guns in 1944. The anti tank regiment had at least 4 batteries. So there were at least 48+ (at least 4 active frontline batteries) Archers in western Europe and Italy.
Here is an Archer SPG in Kranenburg 1945, Germany:
2nd canadian and 15th scottish Division took part in the Battle of the Reichswald. So the Archer is from one of those units (I think it is an Archer of the Scottish Division because the Scottish Division marched through the town of Kranenburg that was flooded by the Rhine flood).
Picture of the victory "parade" of the 314th Battery, 105th AT Regiment in May 1945 in Italy.
You can see at least 6 of the 12 vehicles of the battery. Basing on Perrett there were 2 batteries with Archer TDs in Italy.
