IPT Posted 7 December , 2018 Share Posted 7 December , 2018 East Anglian Brigade? You'd have to give us some detail (name, service number, location), and possibly post the original writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonmate Posted 7 December , 2018 Share Posted 7 December , 2018 (edited) Looks like 2nd East Anglian Brigade RFA, later known as 271 Brigade RFA of 54 (East Anglian) Division. Long Long Trail (top left of this page) notes that the unit did not go to Gallipoli when the Division went, staying in the UK and moving to France in Nov 1915 and prior to shipping out to Egypt to rejoin the Division in Feb 1916. There is a War Diary which incorporates both 1/1 and 1/2 East Anglian Brigades of the RFA here: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C4557795 but as yet not digital.
