Old Tom Posted 28 April , 2005 Share Posted 28 April , 2005 Hello, 330 Bde RFA were one of the two RFA brigaes in the 66th Division. I guess the exploits of that division is what you are looking for. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhill Posted 28 April , 2005 Share Posted 28 April , 2005 I can contribute some information for one point in time. On October 27, 1917 the 330th Bde was relieved by the 5th Canadian Field Artillery Bde on the right divisional front supporting the Canadian Corps before Passchendaele. You can see part of the Order (giving map references) here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Nelson Posted 3 May , 2005 Share Posted 3 May , 2005 Hi there, My Great Grandfather was in the 330th Brigade RFA, I have researched that unit extensively, I have the complete diary...what do you want to know. Happy to forward any info you may require, please be specific with dates. The diary I have covers from April 1917 to May 1919. Who are you researching this for? A family relative?, you never know they may have known Grandpop...... Happy to help best regards Aaron Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Nelson Posted 3 May , 2005 Share Posted 3 May , 2005 Hi I have a typed copy of the war diary for the 330th Brigade RFA, this diary was written by HQ staff of the Brigade. I can email you the segments of the diary you have asked for. The Diary gives descriptions of actions and location, detailing map references etc. My email address is a.mnelson@xtra.co.nz. Feel free to email me and I will respond with info you require. I cannot post it here in this forum as it is too big a document. I have quickly checked the contents and did not see a mention of a Gunner Wright receiving the MM. If you knew the date he recieved it on, then you would be able to check this in the diary and see what B Battery was up to. Please email me at the above address and I will respond. Best regards Aaron Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
