It saw service as part of the 2nd New Zealand Division during the North African, Tunisian and Italian campaigns, before being disbanded in October 1944.

No anti-aircraft guns were available in New Zealand at that time and the regiment was forced to train without any anit-aircraft equipment.

[Note 1][1] Owing to the allied air superiority in Italy, and a shortage of infantry in the New Zealand Division, 14th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment was disbanded on 24 October 1944.

Some of the men were transferred to other artillery units, while 157 others went to the Divisional Cavalry Regiment (which was being restructured as an infantry battalion).

[2] The final score for 14th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment was 67.5[Note 2] aircraft shot down, as well as one naval craft, one tank and an unknown number of vehicles destroyed.
