24 Siege Battery RGA

[stillicho]

I have only managed to find it for 1917 May - 1917 Aug (WO 95/470/2). Anyone know if it exists for dates later than that? Had no joy.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi stillicho,

The unit allocation held at the National Archives shows:-

For H.A.G. (Heavy Artillery Group) read  'Brigade' (Royal Garrison Artillery), so you may find some information in these diaries:

2 Brigade - link

43 Brigade - link

31 Brigade - link

27 Brigade - link

5 Brigade - link

57 Brigade - link

21 Brigade - link

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I needed. I'm more used to working with infantry battalions and haven't worked with RA diaries before. I had the 21 Brigade one and was operating on premise of a more static order of battle. While reading it, I was immediately surprised at the flexibility of artillery as brigades get spliced and amalgamated and so forth constantly. The online oob are all brief and not much use; you really have to go into the wo files, such is the complexity.
