On arrival in Germany, 12th Regiment was converted to the anti-aircraft role as part of 6th Armoured Division and the battery was re-equipped with Bofors guns (initially with the &lt;a href="Bofors%2040mm%20L/60"&gt;L/60&lt;/a&gt; variant, later &lt;a href="Bofors%2040mm%20L/70"&gt;L/70&lt;/a&gt;). It spent most of the 1950s and 1960s in Germany, though from 1963 to 1966 it was at Tampin, Malaya (at the time of the confrontation). From 25 November 1971 to 17 March 1972 it undertook the first of nine roulement tours to Northern Ireland (Operation Banner) in the infantry role, either with 12th Regiment or separately.
