Glider Pilot Regiment Squadrons

[Postwarden]

I know that in January 1944 the GPR was reorganised into Squadrons and Wings.

From the National Archives website I have identified D, E, G and B and I know of the existence of A Squadron. Did the series run complete from A to G and were there any more?
