==Brief History==
In August 1942 the need for additional anti-aircraft batteries saw the 33rd and 45th Infantry Battalions being disbanded to form the '''103rd Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment''' located at Loftus in New South Wales, with the batteries being the 132nd, 133rd, and '''134th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery''' In February 1943 the battery with 'A' and 'B' Troops moved to Randwick to train and then moved to Narellan in May before another shift to Wallgrove in July. 


In November 1943 the battery as a part of the ''54th Composite AA Regiment'' moved to Batchelor in the Northern Territory. In April 1944 the battery changed position, moving to Long airfield, and then in May to Hughes airfield. In December the defences of Truscott field were strengthened with the addition of the '''134th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery'''. By January 1945 the importance of Truscott had diminished as the war moved further away and the battery moved back to Darwin where they occupied the Berrimah gun site (non operationally) from 31 January until 30 July 1945.
