Greenwoodman Posted 27 August , 2004 Share Posted 27 August , 2004 100 Bty arrived from Neemuch, India with XX Bde RFA. Joined 27 Div on 19/11/14, whereupon 100 Bty was transferred to XXXI Bde RFA with 28 Div. The Division concentrated around Winchester December 1914 - Janury 1915, embarked at Southampton 15-18/01/15 and landed Le Havre 16-19/01/15, concentrating between Bailleul and Hazebrouck by 22/01/14. 100 Bty is mentioned in Farndale's "History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery: Western Front 1914-1918" as one of only two batteries left operating alone on the east bank of the canal supporting 84th (I) Bde during Second Ypres. XXXI Bde sailed from Marseilles on 17/11/15 arriving Salonika 27/11/15. 100 Bty is mentioned in Farndale's "History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery: the Forgotten Fronts and the Home Base, 1914-1918" as follows: "Several more minor actions occurred in January 1917. In the attack on Kyupri on 3rd January, three guns of 100th Battery RFA distinguished them selves from positions at Kumli only 750 yards from the objective. The raid was a complete success, 30 prisoners takne and the guns covered the subsequent withdrawal of the raiding party". This on the Doiran front. Info from Becke's "Order of Battle of Divisions" and Farndale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
