asdarley Posted 24 April , 2022 Share Posted 24 April , 2022 This is the back of a postcard from an RFA Trooper. I believe it says Artillery School Leighton Buzzard. There may be a number but i can't make that out. Has anyone any information on an artillery school in Leighton Buzzard during the Great war?

charlie962 Posted 24 April , 2022 Share Posted 24 April , 2022 This would be No1 TF Training School, established 1915. I suspect @David Porter has detail? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdarley Posted 24 April , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 April , 2022 Anyone have a reference to this TF training centre? I don't seem to be able to locate any! The Trooper on the postcard is a Territorial as he wears the Imperial Service badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERITAGE PLUS Posted 24 April , 2022 Share Posted 24 April , 2022 Quote This would be No1 TF Training School, established 1915. It moved to Ripon in 1916.

David Porter Posted 24 April , 2022 Share Posted 24 April , 2022 No. 1 (TF) Artillery Training School was only at Leyton Buzzard or in billets from July - November 1915. It was a training school for the 3rd lines of Northumbrian, West Riding and North Midland Brigades RFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
