David Porter Posted 17 December , 2018 Share Posted 17 December , 2018 Excellent find. Definitely connected to 307th Brigade RFA, which was 2/3rd South Midland Brigade RFA up to May 17, 1916. These notes can be compared to the War Diary which can be downloaded from here - http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C14056134. The officers of A battery and the others should be mentioned so they should be easily identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
