When the TA was reconstituted on 1 January 1947 the 9th and 12th Battalions were reformed at Balham High Road and combined as **624 (Royal Fusiliers) Light Anti\-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery**.Frederick, p. 1026\.Litchfield, p. 175\.[592–638 Rgts RA at British Army 1945 onwards.](http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/territorial-army-royal-artillery/592-638-regiments-1947-67.html) It served as the LAA regiment of [56th (London) Armoured Division](/wiki/56th_%28London%29_Armoured_Division "56th (London) Armoured Division").Litchfield, Appendix 5\.[Watson, *TA 1947*.](http://www.orbat.info/history/historical/uk/ta47.html)

When [Anti\-Aircraft Command](/wiki/Anti-Aircraft_Command "Anti-Aircraft Command") was disbanded in 1955 there was a major reduction in the number of AA units, and 624 LAA absorbed [526 (Mixed) LAA/Searchlight Regiment, RA (27th London Electrical Engineers)](/wiki/London_Electrical_Engineers "London Electrical Engineers"), which formed R Battery. Later its title was changed to 624 LAA Rgt (9th Bn Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)).

There were further reductions in the TA. On 1 May 1961, 624 LAA Rgt reconverted back to infantry and merged into [8th (1st City of London) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers](/wiki/8th_%281st_City_of_London%29_Battalion%2C_Royal_Fusiliers "8th (1st City of London) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers"), to form the [City of London Battalion, Royal Fusiliers](/wiki/City_of_London_Battalion%2C_Royal_Fusiliers "City of London Battalion, Royal Fusiliers").Money Barnes, Appendix V.


What was the outcome of further reductions in the TA on May 1, 1961?
