1/4th Hampshire (Howitzer) Battery in Aden 1915-1916

Please could a knowledgeable Member advise how many guns were in this battery, and how they were drawn?

If you have a War Diary, please could you advise how many guns fired at HATUM on 12th January 1916.

Thanks Harry

Harry,

In case you have not spotted this already

see http://www.js-ww1.bham.ac.uk/articles/issue3_Connelly.pdf

It's very vague on the artillery, however it does give the WD refs at the NA if someone can get a look at them for you:

WO 95/5438, Aden Force War Diaries (Sheikh Othman Garrison and Movable Column), 12 January 1916.

Good luck

Michael

Thanks Michael

I have both references but it doesn't spell out what those particular guns were.

I'm just going to assume that the situation as at mobilisation had not changed.
