kenmorrison Posted 22 June , 2019 Share Posted 22 June , 2019 His entries on the Regimental Medal Rolls indicate that he served with 22nd Siege Battery of the Royal Garrison Artillery, landing with the battery in France on 6 October 1915. He was discharged (to Class Z reserve) on 28 February 1919. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted 22 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 22 June , 2019 thank you for replies, is the photo of the badge definately the only one that is applicable to the 22nd seige battery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted 23 June , 2019 Share Posted 23 June , 2019 The cap badge in GFW1967's post #4 is the same for all branches of the Royal Artillery whether it's Garrison, Field or Horse, the exception is the cap badge of the Artillery element of the "Honourable Artillery Company" which is identical other than the scroll under the crown has "H A C" instead of "UBIQUE".

sotonmate Posted 28 June , 2019 Share Posted 28 June , 2019 Alexander Your badge is likely for a Territorial Force Horse Artillery unit. If you go to the Long Long Trail (link at top of this page) click on Army, then Regiments and Corps,then Units of RHA and then scroll down to TF units you will see the districts of these units.

alexander Posted 28 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2019 no, sorry, that isnt my badge, that was just as an example to signify that certain cap badges had their own name . What I want to know is if the one for my grandfathers is also like that . As he was a dundee man, I do not know exactly who he was deployed to if you can understand my confusion.

johnboy Posted 28 June , 2019 Share Posted 28 June , 2019 I think sotonmate is trying to point out that only TF would have had badges with names.The Regulars did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
