susancammas Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Good afternoon Does anyone have any idea of which RHA/RA brigades/batteries were involved in the war in Palestine? Did, by any chance, any of them move to Palestine from Mesopotamia? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kind regards Susan PS: I've posted this same message on the Units Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Davies Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Artillery in Palestine is not my area of expertise (ask me one on tanks and/or Yeomanry and I am much more comfortable) but I am pretty sure none of the Artillery that served there had previously served in Mesopotamia. The EEF Orbat is on Wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Expeditionary_Force I have never seen a list of just the EEF's Artillery (which of course doesn't mean such a thing doesn't exist).

Stuart24 Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Hello, I think the artillery of 3rd (Lahore) Division remained with it from France to Mesopotamia and then to Palestine. They were: 4th Brigade RFA (7th, 14th & B/69th Batteries) 8th Brigade RFA (372nd, 373rd & 428th Batteries) 53rd Brigade RFA (66th, 374th & 430th Batteries) Cheers Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Clifton Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 The artillery of 7th (Meerut) Division also served in Mesopotamia before going to Egypt and Palestine: 9th Brigade RFA (19, 20, 28 and D/69 Batteries) 56 Brigade RFA (A, B, C, D and 527(H) Batteries) and these brigades were then transferred to 52nd (Lowland) Division, whose former artillery then went to 7th (Meerut) Division in exchange.

susancammas Posted 29 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2016 (edited) Many thanks to you Stuart and Ron I'm overwhelmed by your list of War Diaries Ron! The reason for my initial request is that I am still searching for my grandfather (Lt. Charles John Troke Johnston) whose service records show that he "embarked for Mesopotamia with 131st Brigade RFA on 20th December 1915" He is subsequently shown with various RFA brigades in Mesopotamia until he left Basrah for leave on 20th October 1918. (see attachment) With a lot of help from various Forum members (for which I am very grateful) in response to my previous posts, I have already consulted many war diaries for his (apparent) service in Mesopotamia but can't find any mention of his arrival or departure from any of the brigades. I find this rather puzzling. I was mulling this over the other day and seem to remember my father mentioning Palestine and his father in the same sentence. So, I wonder whether I have been barking up the wrong tree - could CJTJ somehow have found himself in Palestine and if so, is there any way I could find out what operations he was involved in, or in fact anything about his service there? What do the experts think? Kind regards to you all Susan Edited 29 April , 2016 by susancammas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancammas Posted 29 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2016 (edited) Thanks Stuart and Gareth Not having had the advantage/privilege of a military background, I think I need a short sharp lesson in the hierarchy of Division/Brigade/Battery. Could some kind forum member point me in the direction of a document that explains this in easy to understand layman's language (numbering systems for example)? I'm looking for my grandfather's movements in WWI. From vague memories of conversations I think my grandfather might have been in Palestine. Can anyone make head or tail of the attached? Many thanks Susan Recap CJTJ re War diaries V2 .doc Edited 29 April , 2016 by susancammas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart24 Posted 2 May , 2016 Share Posted 2 May , 2016 Hi Susan, I'd recommend that you have a look on 'The long, long trail' - there is a short-cut in the top left hand corner of this page. It gives really good overviews on how different types of units where organised and what they did. All the best Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling to find a continuous line of service for my Paternal Grandfather, Richard Dorian Badcock, who I have at least found to have been the 2Lt with the i/1st Hants RFA, as a FOO at the Battle of Romani. He continued right through the campaign and on demobilisation was a Major. Somewhere and somehow he won the MC, which was reported in the LG on 11 Apr, 1918. As far as I know, he remained in the Hants battery but there appear to be conflicting statements of the reorganisations throughout. For any assistance, many thanks in advance. DB.
