nikki32 Posted 5 September , 2008 Share Posted 5 September , 2008 A relative of mine served with the 77th Siege R.F.A (so it says on the absent voters list). Does anyone have any ideas how I can research what they did, who they were etc? Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFayers Posted 5 September , 2008 Share Posted 5 September , 2008 If it was a siege battery your relative fought in, he would have been in the Royal Garrison Artillery not RFA. You could always check the National Archive website to see if 77 Siege Battery's war diary still exists. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ororkep Posted 5 September , 2008 Share Posted 5 September , 2008 Nikki, The AVL is incorrect. I can positively confirm that Bdr Halliday served with 77 Siege Battery RGA. Diary survives at NA ref WO95/396. Rgds Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki32 Posted 5 September , 2008 Author Share Posted 5 September , 2008 That's great - thanks very much indeed. Thought that the R.F.A didn't seem right. Will have to try and get hold of the diary - am assuming that you can photocopy or photograph it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
