george297 Posted 5 December , 2015 Share Posted 5 December , 2015 The following men are recorded on the Territorial War Medal Roll, RGA, on Ancestry.com, as having first gone abroad with or to the 159th (Devon) Heavy Battery RGA, which went to France in June 1916 (this site). Their number and rank in the last column is as they were when posted abroad, the number in the first column and rank in the second are as they were when the roll was put together, mostly dated 1922 with supplements for some years after this. Numbers with 3 digits are the man's original TF number, while the 6 digit numbers arise from TF renumbering in 1917 or those joining after this, and the 7 digit from Army renumbering in 1920 (this site). From p.225 (top RH Corner of the Roll), dated 1926, the units men are posted to abroad are not given. Some additional information about the men with 7 digit numbers may be found in Royal Artillery Attestations on findmypast. Remarks with [ ] are mine, those without are from the Medal Roll, and abbreviations used are as per the Roll 329194 Sergt ANDERSON James 504 Sergt 329376 Gnr ANDREW Albert E. 658 Gunner 329005 Gnr BALMENT Samuel 329005 Gunner 329298 Bdr BEABLE Alfred 353 Gunner 329026 A/Cpl BECKER William H. 172 Gunner [same numbers are on MIC plus 329036 which is also William's number on BW & V Medal Roll.

graemerae Posted 18 August , 2020 Share Posted 18 August , 2020 Do you have any information on Gnr Arthur Herbert WHITE #574 who served in the Devon RGA (TF) from 1909 to 1913. I am trying to track down his WW1 activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
